Opinion from Chuq’s Desk:
Okay, enough is enough! We have been bombarded with everything Ebola and most of it is worthless full and fodder. America’s paranoia is running at a fever’s pitch.
I will bow to social convention and join the Ebola conversation….most will probably appreciate my direction of this post…..but hey….they can just get over it, right?
Now everyone can take a deep breath…..Nigeria is damn near Ebola free (for now…..Senegal is getting pretty damn close and now for the US…….we had some cases….nothing like West Africa but if you listened to your butt monkeys that you elected …we had an epidemic……
To what purpose is the MSM fixation on the Ebola outbreak? I mean really? We get lots of horror stories but little useful information. We got every little political toad that ever wanted to be on TV got to say something of which little was accurate……but we Americans listened and we panicked….it is what we do……
Is what the media is doing a public service? To me it is bordering on sensationalism. At what point will it be considered fanning the flames of hysteria? Is there a saturation point? Just what is the point of this overreaction? Or would it be over-reporting?
Yes, Ebola is a horrific disease and yes there is a necessity for accurate information…usable information……but do we really need all this filler that is bordering on the psychotic?
So far I have seen little on the control and the cure and a whole bunch of typical bullsh*t that serves NO purpose other than to increase the panic. Oh wait! We have a new Ebola Czar……a position that may not be needed…..but what the Hell….it gives politicos something to use in their election ads.
Apparently the public carves a good dose of fear…….and this situation is feeding that hunger even though it appears the worst of this situation may be behind us………..
When will this end?
My guess it will lessen around November 5th…..or shortly after the votes are counted the situation will NO longer be needed..
Finally, just what is this Ebola overkill really accomplishing?
Questions……….. Answers needed.
If anyone was a good answer please share………
I am listening!
People know longer trust Government. Why this is so is both the question and the answer to your question in my opinion.

Welcome to IST…….this government needs an overhaul…..and the media needs to be returned to the public and not under the control of corporations…..I appreciate your comment and please feel free to visit anytime……chuq
We Americans ignore history, and context. Ebola has risen and fallen over & over since 1976. Hasn’t killed everyone in West Africa, or even most. Yet we Americans are subject to hysterical overreaction after one death here.
Dumb is dumb.
Hello and welcome…..that is one of Americans faults……we cave to fear and the media is the instigator….thanx for the comment….chuq
