That's not quite a fair comparison, seeing as how Ebola is droplet-transmissible (...ish) and definitely transmits through saliva and mucus.

But it's pretty loving unlikely.

Don't make out with bar randoms who've recently been to Africa. Got it.

The Black Death caused an unimaginable hellscape across Europe, but the people who lived through it went from peasants eating mud to loving ballers because they could just take the poo poo everyone else left behind. So yeah, just keep focused on that.

Well. Thats...well. I'd advise you not come into bodily fluid contact with him for the next 21 days. An overabundance of caution is better than under-preparation.

Sorry to hear about that. Things may get scary over the next 21 to 42 days in Dallas, depending on how many high-risk exposures occured.

It's fine, it's a hospital and they diagnosed him there. Really the people to worry about are the ones (if any) who were touching him or his fluids yesterday or the day before.

Okay whatever, the point is once he gets to the hospital it's not a threat anymore.

Adele is one of the rare modern Soul/R&B singers who sings the story and not the vocal gymnastics. Winehouse did too. Aretha, Nina Simone, etc, are the old guard. That whole generation from like Whitney Houston through Celine Dion and on to Beyonce is awful, though. Hey look, I can make my voice do tricks! Check me out!!! Talented, yeah, but good? No.

Beyoncé is great because

    [1]she has fairly complicated stage routines and actually sings during them instead of lip synch or only singing the chorus
    [2]she totally does sing the story listen to the song about her daughter or her unborn child if you don't believe me
    [3]she is more influential than all professors and politicians and activists combined and is probably solely responsible for taking back the word 'feminism' from rear end in a top hat conservatives

And so on
