Obama wasn't a thing until there was Obama.
Thanks Obama.

Thanks Obama.

So Obama is Obama's fault?
So, since there is no cure, they might as well use a non-cure? 

[GavJ]

Well, Obama is 1/2 Obama's fault, and 1/2 Dunham's fault.

[Loud Whispers]

Obama stop derailing my thread pls

the Spanish missionary who was treated with Zmapp died today.

the Spanish missionary who was treated with Zmapp died today.

Is that the serum which supposedly cured those two American missionaries?

It didn't cure them, but they are improving in condition.

[GavJ]

As an aside, a mortality rate of 33% is better than 60%

Where are you getting 33 from? Zmapp?

[Darvi]

Most likely.

One has died. Two haven't died so far, are still sick, but improving.

The Nigerian government just fired all of its federal doctors.

*EDIT
Perhaps this needs more context as the Nigerian government may have been justified here. The Nigerian Medical Association went ahead with strikes in spite of a cooperative government and its own president telling them they need to continue working to stop the spread of Ebola. The government of Nigeria is taking the spread of Ebola more seriously than many of its doctors.

Reading into it, entirely justified as the doctors started striking on the onset of this outbreak [basically blackmailing the government], and I don't usually give Goodluck benefit of the doubt, but they all deserved it if they're more worried about money than helping people in the midst of an outbreak. Apparently replacements are already prepared and vetted.


This is especially upsetting when you realize had the NMA just acted like doctors instead of blackmailing the government while people are suffering from an outbreak, maybe if the NMA had worked for their money and to save people who needed it despite their pay grade, maybe they would have had some leverage *after* this crisis to look at their people and say that they do in fact deserve more money for the work they do.

But no. Just blackmail your government while people are dying. Good riddance, the lot of them.

Oh, that's not Ebola. I assure you, it's just malaria.

Everything is fine. Do not Panic. Do not think about the event.

Fun fact*: Ebola gets worse if you know it's ebola. It doesn't like being found out.

*Not actually a fact.
