I'll bet he has to wear brown suits to disguise having it squirt out his ears.

Hickox lives in a pretty rural area. That means she knows her neighbors and they know her. Anybody who is nervous about her line of work can simply avoid her. There's enough space.

of media jogging to keep up as she rode.

Lepage said she is free to leave her house. Wonder what will happen if she goes to town to shop?????

3. She said she's going to avoid crowded spaces

so she'll probably give a list to a friend.

She is following CDC guidelines, in other words, avoiding crowded, enclosed spaces while self monitoring. The former isn't necessary and will likely be dropped once the panic is over and the media have moved on to the next shiny object. The latter is for her own survival should she become ill.

glad she is taking on the media and politicians.


Saw Morning joe a bit ago. There was a congressman on--instilling fear of Ebola again. The comment made that LaPare had the public on his side 80% so he should do OK in his state. I was so disappointed that it seemed to be OK since the public agreed. NO attempt to educate the public was made (no host speaking up-No medical doctor on the show). Damm!

7. Morning Joke tends to be a little on the delusional side

Friends back home say Le Putz is extremely unpopular for a lot of reasons, mostly having to do with his following the Koch plan to wreck the country state by state.
