Absolutely! I have had a lot of time on my hands and been watching a lot of the news (I usually don't and therefore I am usually blissfully unaware ) But this is getting scary....Ebola, Triple E , Entero virus, etc. I've never considered myself a "germaphobe" but having 2 follow up Doc visits in the last two days I have found that it's getting harder and harder to sit in the waiting rooms or exam rooms and not think about potentially being exposed to something.

On a related topic I find it suspicious that last week I saw the president speak about how we need "act fast" on the Ebola outbreak (has this not been going on for months?) and right after that the MA Doc infected and cured is interviewed. Tell me the president didn't plan that timing! Then a week later we now have the first U.S. diagnosis.

Think of all the "hands-free" things you could do, like "Let me ring the doorbell", or "What floor do you want?" (crowded elevator), or "Let me carry that bag for you". The options are endless!

Just make sure that whatever task you offer doesn't get you too "excited" or you'll have some 'splainin to do!!!

You could work in a doughnut shop. "Here's you two cups of coffee and your dozen doughnuts ma'am"

Here's one more point to consider, and I told my co-workers this along with my explanation that "I don't want to sound like a doom & gloom kind of guy", but what if someone were to use a person like a viral bomb? Find someone that's sympathetic to their cause and load them with whatever is the most virulent, lethal and untreatable, and send them on a mission to infect as many people as possible.

THAT makes me shudder, as the results would be nothing short of a world wide disaster.
We've already seen that ANYONE can come to the US, from ANY part of the world, as long as they have the right docments.

Add to that the incompetance of just one medical staffer, one TSA agent, one bleeding-heart politician and we would be screwed!

We can't just keep pluggin along, hoping all is rianbows and unicorns (as my boss is fond of saying) when the world continues to collapse all around us and populations could become victims of a medical disaster of epic proportions!

OK, maybe I need to get out and fish a little to balance things out?

Hey, maybe we'll discover that fish slime is a cure of whatever diseases and viruses are waiting to infect us, in which case I think we'll all be OK!!!!

actually this discovery has happened but from a jelly fish.

think of kelp.... it has no roots.... it attaches to a rock
and absorbs all nutrients out of the sea water. I'm even giving it to my dog and the transformation is literally amazing.... from slow and groan
to yippee lets go @ age 9
