Unicorn. Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 http://okscotfest.com/ I do not care for "meat soup" I put a lot of peppers and beans in my chili. Messing with Texas is fun and cool. Oklahoma has all the things. I think you've gone delusional. To the first, THANK YOU. To the second, I am from Ebola ground zero. I remember a lot of things like cricket infestations in which the entire parking lot of my dorm at UNT was covered with crickets like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie, but I swear I do not recall flying roaches. Maybe I am just lucky that way. :D Come south about 4 hours. I'll introduce you to our special little nightmares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Χά�ων Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oh No you didn't! Them's fight'in words!! KC and St. Louis don't know BBQ. TX is REAL BBQ How do not remember giant flying roaches? You must be from W. Texas where there's no trees to house those suckers! Have you ever had BBQ outside of Texas "BBQ"? That reminds me, I picked up a bottle of sauce, what's your address?

BrookValley. Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The bloody body of a squirrel fell out of the sky (true story) and landed right in front of my car as I was driving down my road this morning. So I should have grabbed it for BBQ later? I'm actually a vegetarian, but hey. If the heavens are opening up and dropping squirrels on me, who am I to question?

Desert Strawberry Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thank you. I understand. He still had contact with medical staff who did not know he had ebola. I know they mentioned monitoring the EMT's. Hopefully, they are doing to same for the other medical staff. How sad is that... that they were exposed doing their jobs. That's not sad. It's part of the job. Medical personnel willingly and knowingly expose themselves to all sorts of contagion, with the best protective measures possible.

Laurie4b Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You said, Um, if they want to partake in risky activities (such as flying into Africa in the middle of the ebola crisis), then no, they should not be allowed back in. Travel should be closed in and out of Africa. Period. Everyone else shouldn't have to suffer because they wanted to go to Africa. It was only *after* people said that was impossible that you said, Quote Okay, so maybe that isn't going to happen, but what about the countries affected? Why was this person free to fly into here to visit family? Do you feel it is fine for U.S. citizens to be exposed because of this one person? Isn't it possible that the thread responses gave her a new perspective? I would hope that's the point of these threads: that people who might start out with one position might modify that once they read other responses if those responses contain new information. Though my view aligns quite closely with yours in terms of the subject matter, the truth is that when I read the news this morning, other people have similar responses to Jinnah in terms of level of fear they think is warranted.

Tammyla Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 From the CDC.gov web site, Q&A on Ebola Transmission www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission/qas.html It states that, "Ebola can be killed with hospital-grade disenfectants (such as household bleach). Ebola on dried on surfaces like doornobs and countertops can survive for several hours; however virus in body fluids (such as blood) can survive up to several days at room temperature." I'm still reading through the thread, and have no chili bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albeto. Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm confused about a couple things. So now I'm wrong for having empathy for people who risk their lives for others? WOW. I can't win on here. A certain group of people don't like me for whatever reason and nit-pick EVERY SINGLE THING I SAY even when I am correct or it is just a matter of opinion. I give up. Not responding to anymore negative posts directed toward me... there is just no point. This seems quite the leap in logic. Responding to your comment in such a way that suggests disagreement (with reasons why) no more accuses you of lacking empathy than your post here accuses them of being psychopathic monsters who want people to die from a painful and gruesome death. Your comment about the transmission of disease being sad suggests to me the idea this disease is somehow much much worse than other deadly, communicable diseases. I'm curious what makes that so? and... The problem with beans in chili is quite simply...the beans. Are you not talking then about the humble Sloppy Joe?

Farrar Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 First of all, it's sad that this is such a serious issue, that the officials are now as good as admitting they mishandled, that we can't have a serious, respectful conversation about it.
