Right, it's the getting back out again that is so hard. More than half my training in using gloves for mice in research involved taking the gloves off, and that was just gloves. It's bloody hard to get out of a hazmat suit covered in haz mats.

I read an interesting chronology which I won't link to because it was on (shh!) wikipedia, where we know all is true. Seems to have started with patient 0 just before new year's; I started reading about it in May, and started this thread in July. Now there are probably about 10 thousand cases in probably more than 3 countries, since it's statistically more likely that there are people dying in uncounted scores upcountry, given that they are dying in counted droves in cities and towns, than that every single ill person is in a city or town given that this is West Africa, and the idea that the virus stops at the borders still bothers me... just because no one's been identified with it in a decent hospital in, say Abidjan, doesn't mean it isn't all around villages bordering Liberia and Guinea, and I repeat, the scary thing isn't it getting out into the developped world, the scary thing is what it's doing right now to real people right there.
I feel like the poor schmuck under the table with the irrepressible chick admonishing him to stop repeating himself in What's Up Doc - I am not repeating myself I am not repeating myself o my word I'm repeating myself
