In case you didn't know already, there is an ebola outbreak in Africa right now. There was a guy who was in Liberia I think and then he came to Dallas, Texas after being in contact with someone who had ebola. A hospital then failed to communicate to higher positions of authority that the man had been in an ebola infested country. He then proceeded to infect other people. He died about a week or two ago I think.

I live about 4 hours away from Dallas and this is pretty much Texas high schools at the moment:

*someone coughs* ''Oh, you probably have ebola''

''I wish would catch ebola so I don't have to go to school.''

Well, idiot, you would die if you caught ebola.

''But I wouldn't have to go to school.''

''I feel nauseous.''

''You have ebola, infect me so I don't have to go to school!''

''My parents were talking about our plan for when the ebola outbreak comes here.''

But- they have it under control.

''No they don't! Ahhhh''

About 85% of conversations I overhear in a day are about ebola. People are stupid.
