Sick ship from the Congo

[turboford]

We had a good scare this evening here in Nola. The captain on a freighter from Congo notified the Coast Guard that they had a few sick crewmen and didn't know what they had. Everyone thought oh fuck EBOLA. CG called the CDC and they both met the boat at the entrance to the Mississippi and did some testing. They brought the ship all the way to Belle Chase where they docked and removed the sick crewmen. Turned out to be a bad case of Maleria.

I thought the big one had gotten here. They should have kept that ship at sea till they knew what that sick fucker had. Easier to sink a ship at sea than in port.

That's really surprising and scary they let them come into port.

That is how scared the media has everyone over this. They all seem to think it is as easy to spread as the flu, so now the obvious solution to stopping it is kill the infected.

Everyone has it It's not a matter of IF you will turn, but WHEN you will turn.

While I believe the world could benefit from losing a few people, I'd rather it hit China or India, and work it's way through the middle east.

And if we could some how have it contained to detroit or ferguson, that'd be nice too.

Thank zombie/ viral infection films. The media is a minor player.

Probably timber or minerals. They could've also just dropped something off there, and not brought anything on.

US census says it's mostly copper. Then "Artwork, antiques, stamps, etc."... which is quote odd.
