WHO Needs a Bigger Chart

"The number of people infected with Ebola in three West African countries has exceeded 10,000, the World Health Organization [WHO] reported Saturday. [25 Oct]"
Ref: The New York Times

Uh-OH! 10,000 !

WHO's gonna heed a bigger chart than the one they published in July, . . . like, 10 times taller !

I'm not worried. Liberals on this site have clarified that Ebola is near impossible to contract while in the presence of an infected person. I guess those nurses and doctors catching Ebola while wearing HAZMAT suits must have terrible luck.
I cant speak for Appalachia. Here in the big city we have a treated water supply, septic infrastructure, and even electricity too! Charts of Ebola infection in third world countries don't frighten me much (or the CDC director either).

But let me throw DonDiego a bone. There's no need for bigger graph. There's a much more effective source for fear-mongering thats bigger than any graph.

PJ is falling to the depths of Chilly with fat jokes? That's disappointing.

Okay, let's talk Ebola. What do treated water, electricity and infrastructure have to do with sick folks transmitting Ebola. Are you telling us that if we flush the toilet and turn on the lights we're safe? If that's the case, I disagree.

PJ, few people in America have Ebola. Let's keep it that way.

Poor old DonDiego don't know nothin' 'bout "treated water supply"; he jes' pumps the handle and water comes outta the spigot.

But, heck fire, . . . there is sho'nuf e-lec-tri-ci-ty hereabouts. In fact, it comes into the house and there's holes in the wall to let it into the TV and such. Folks hereabouts says the e-lec-tri-cit-y comes from the coal that rumbles by heh' in the train, . . .'bout a quarter-mile down the holler. It's a comfort a-hearin' the train whistle blowin', knowin' DonDiego'll be able to watch his TV programs.

And Appalachia is chock full o' "septic infrastructure hereabouts too. Why right out by the garden, DonDiego's got hisself a two-seater.
