Speaking of HIV/AIDS, my local paper had a column by the resident wingnut who had the audacity to argue that we should treat ebola as seriously as we treated AIDS. Yes, by saying nothing about it for almost 10 years? People actually had to argue that it "wasn't just a gay disease" for anyone to take it seriously.

Gotta go with Pops on this one. The elder Paul must have taken his Namenda that day, because what he said was completely conventional, reality-based and true. More familiar infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, pneumonia (various causes), pertussis, tuberculosis and meningitis with claim many more lives worldwide this year than Ebola will. In the United States, ischemic heart disease, motor vehicle accidents and injuries related to accidental or intentional discharge of firearms each represent many orders of magnitude greater health risks to the population.

There is no evidence that Ebola can be transmitted through the air. Direct physical contact with an infected person or their blood is required. Aqua Buddha is talking out of his ass. Again.
