Just got out of bed to throw up but nothing came out... so I'm sitting on the toilet seat tapping on my ipad. I read that blurb Brynn, love it, but you're making me sicker. I doubt I have ebola but I've had swine flu before in 2009. Yup. Took 9 months to recover...

How do u end up sick anyways? You should nip symptoms at the first sign. I rarely get sick coz if I sneeze I'll drink a whole glass of orange juice lol.

Hint to Kenya CDC keenly following me on Twitter instead of doing research lol

Ebola survivors develop immunity. Serum from survivors can help as proven in black market.

I think I have diarrhoea. Food poisoning.

I went to get some lemons for some lemon tea and this one giant cockatoo raised its giant wings and squarked at me back the f off. It then clipped 7 fresh lemons from the lemon tree and viciously nibbled half of each. Left me nothing.

It's generalised... I don't think what you're reading is accurate. Seems like an outsider's account untrained in public health. The media may choose to ignore the problem. Govts don't ignore. Even if the condition is medically rare, there's a policy called the 'rule of rescue'. This mean they have an ethical obligation to treat for national security interests even if it costs one person millions.

All countries should have this policy provision:

Quote
Rule of Rescue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rule of Rescue is a term coined by A.R. Jonsen in 1986 that is used in a variety of bioethics contexts:[1]

'a perceived duty to save endangered life where possible' (Bochner et al., 1994, pp901)
'the sense of immediate duty that people feel towards those who present themselves to a health service with a serious condition' (Nord et al., 1995b, pp90)
'an ethical imperative to save individual lives even when money might be more efficiently spent to prevent deaths in the larger population'(Doughety, 1993, pp1359)
'the powerful human proclivity to rescue a single identified endangered life, regardless of cost, at the expense of any nameless faces who will therefore be denied health care' (Osborne and Evans, 1994, pp779)

I read the author's bio.. http://www.amazon.com/David-P.-Clark/e/B001IXNQ3Q/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

Yep, someone untrained in public health, politics, epidemiology. It's blatantly obvious.

Brynn, stop reading it. It's not true.

Nice. What is that? Is that a rubber pencil for tablets? I must get one. My fingers get sick of tapping at times...

Yeah they got different styluses. I actually take real hand notes on an application called bamboo when I don't feel like typing. Get them in all colours. I got blue and yellow too...

Yeh I know right ! I'm sure the crystals will make a little calming sound for my fingers. That could fascinate me for hours. Plus it's functional in the sense you could use it as a pen as well. Yours looks more classy though.
