Separated at Birth: Typhoid Mary and …?

Cook "Typhoid Mary"Mallon…

Ebola Nurse Kaci Hickox

Okay, Kaci Hickox probably doesn't have ebola.  But is it possible she is infected? Dr. Craig Spencer did not think he was infected either.

Typhoid Mary definitely was an asymptomatic carrier for typhoid and spread it over the years.

Having visited Newark, I could certainly appreciate why Ms. Hickox wanted to leave New Jersey, but refusing to home self quarantine in Maine is reckless on her part given the risks (and recent cases of medical providers testing positive weeks after exposure).  This seems just a tad irresponsible on her part.

The grim future if ebola goes global.

Ebola out of control, Obama has his best team on it, what could go wrong?

Given how wonderfully Obamacare rolled out and we are now sending 3000 American troops into an area full of disease, turmoil and terrorists, what could go wrong with this Ebola epidemic?

How about some epidemic movies?

Outbreak was overall a very bad movie, but this below is an okay scene (J.T. Walsh is okay, but when I go for overacting, I want Al Pacino, Charlton Heston, or Gene Hackman in the role).  I tried to find the scene from Outbreak that show the virus going airborne in a movie theater (you could see tiny droplets floating in the air after a sneeze).

Although this is probably how Benghazi cover up went down the day after…

And here are some more selections you can probably get on Netflix...
