@IRunForFun: That was really interesting, thanks for sharing! I feel especially strongly about number one. This has been an issue in West Africa for a long time, but few people in the U.S. care until it enters our borders. The charities that have been bravely fighting the disease in a place that doesn't have a lot of resources and sanitation continue to be grossly underfunded. And still I've seen so many people say, "We need to take care of things here, let Africa take care of itself." A lot of this country lacks compassion, pure and simple. Here's a thought -- if we'd been helping stamp this out in Africa even earlier, maybe it never would have even gotten here! Anyone freaking out about ebola here should consider donating to MSF or another worthy charity to deal with it in Africa. Oh, and let's get a surgeon general, shall we? Omfg, I can't believe it's taken this long to approve the nomination. Pathetic.

And the xenophobia is already spreading faster than ebola... I hate people sometimes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/west-africans-in-washington-say-they-are-being-stigmatized-because-of-ebola-fear/2014/10/16/39442d18-54c6-11e4-892e-602188e70e9c_story.html

@MrsSCB: It really pains me to read this article. Thanks for sharing, even though it's really depressing. I really dislike people sometimes too.
