Trooper test negative for ebola

[B2G]

Good...I thought he would.

More likely he stressed himself into a headache and digestive problems.

1. That's what I was thinking.

I know there's a medical term, but I'm too tired to look for it.

Thank you for the update! I couldn't remember his name and had a hard time finding any news.

2. Psychosomatic? n/t

[Wait Wut]

4. YES!!!

Thank you! It was making me a little nuts that I couldn't remember!

5. I have those moments myself.

16. you and me both

Though with me the symptoms are generally the same as what I get because of acute anxiety. I've never got nasal discharge or unproductive coughing or anything like that because of being afraid of getting it.

I think he was genuinely ill with something and because of the symptoms being similar to how Ebola starts and having been unprotected in the apartment it was a good idea to be checked out just in case. He's got to be incredibly relieved now.

18. I meant I sometimes

can't come up with a word right when I need it.

Yes, and I'm sure a lot of other people also are relieved that he doesn't have Ebola.

19. oh man, THAT I do all the time!

And it always seems to happen when I'm talking to someone who it's important for them not to think I'm an idiot. Sometimes I just draw a total blank whether it's a word, or something I know I need at the grocery store or what always seems to happen to me whenever I have to take any kind of test... everything I know just flies out of my head no matter how well I know it. I always hated typing tests because every time I'd suddenly feel like my hands turned into lumps or that my fingers just became mysteriously paralyzed.

3. Great news!

Hope it's not a false negative.

6. Will the sheriff hold another press conference

Some people done caught the vapors.

7. Not surprising at all.

I said it was the menudo he ate for his hangover that caused it. It's Texas.



That tripe really needs to be washed carefully. I love menudo, but I only eat it if I got to help make it. It'll get ya if you're not careful, and give you a nasty feeling in your tum-tum.

8. Big k&r.

9. I think a lot of people will show up at ERs with "the ebola."

I remember classmates who thought they had every disease we studied in nursing school and didn't get well until we studied the next body system.

People can be very suggestible, especially when they're frightened of something.

[TorchTheWitch]

17. hopefully not

This guy had a good reason to suspect the possibility though since he was in the apartment Mr. Duncan stayed at while he was very ill.

I think if none of the people that were in direct contact with Mr. Duncan (or even most of them) end up becoming ill people will relax a lot more about it. There's always those people that think they're dying of everything though.

10. BULLSHIT

Ebola is spreading wildly out of control in America.

Everybody panic RIGHT FAWKING NOW!!11

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. !!!

12. I blame Obama for Ebola. In fact, let's just call it Obola

Ebola --->>> Obama ------>>> Obola

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. Why not? Everything else seems to be his fault.

[Egnever]

13. OMG CNN is fucked!

Although the plane search did just start up again so maybe they will be ok after all.

15. could be, could be a stomach virus, something he ate

Who knows. Good that he was being cautious and had himself checked out.
