Blue Bomber, Ebola isn't all that easy to get. The reason that it spread in Africa so much is because they have pretty shit medical care there and people didn't/couldn't avoid bodily fluid transmission. The reason that Ebola came to the US and Europe is because patients were transferred there in order to receive proper care. It's not actually a bad thing that they went there.

The common cold is more infectious than Ebola. I don't see how it could become the plague.

Yeah, the only way you can get Ebola is if someone coughs, pukes, spits on you. Or urinates, in which case that would be disgusting. I think if you see some really ill person you would stay away and maybe call an ambulance.

Yes, being obese or morbidly obese can kill you. Diabetes is a thing and it's not all that pleasant.

Well, Type 1 Diabetes doesn't necessarily require you to be fat.

Health wasn't my "best" subject other than No drugs,No sex, and stay abstinence...

"No sex".

They should have taught you no "unsafe sex" unless you are certain of the risk of contracting any STDs and if you want to potentially conceive a baby.

Also, knowing Health =/= knowing being obese will kill you, to be quite frank it is common knowledge, especially in this day and age.

Just wanna float in and say that those who caught Ebola and returned to places like the US and UK were nurses and providing care in other countries for people that have the disease. They've been in close contact and there's basically no chance this is gonna become a widespread pandemic.

Think about this: more Americans have been married to Kim Kardashian than have died from Ebola.

Spoiler: show

Hell, we had a guess speaker that literally told us "sex is great." As long as you're smart about it of course.

We had an Ebola suspect patient in Brazil... An african immigrant; Luckily he didn't have Ebola. But Brazil don't have a good control of immigrants, many people enter in the country illegally... The boundaries of the North are poor and destabilized places. And we don't have a good health system too.

Hrmm.. I remember my teacher give my class a "wonderful" power point what the STD's are(and look like!) and why its important about that topic.... i'm scarred from that day ;_;

Teachers always tell you to remain abstinent, but they don't mean it. Just make sure to ask your partner if they have any STDs and if they answer truthfully then take that in consideration and choose whether to do it or not.
