At first I thought I knew it and I was proud of myself for being so smart.
But I was thinking of Bolas not Ebola.





But Bolas are good too!

And yes I knew what Ebola was, though I'm a bit younger than those who've experienced it.  I'd heard the name drop a few times over the years so one day just looked it up (along with a few other infections/diseases you hear about but never see, like Lupus).

Good for you for being technically correct  :handth:

It's still the way I found out about Ebola.  I'm sorry my phrasing was off.  I was getting too comfortable on teh Shroomery, forgot it was still the internet.

I know from watching scary ass documentaries and also this song:
I'm 19. I heard about it could be spread through black market monkey meat into Europe.
85-95% mortality rate with treatment I think.


Colonized in your cells, sickness, constant shifting
Too late to be afraid, organs, liquefying
Blood spews from every hole, in your, lifeless body
Masses fall from disease, plaguing, every human, still contagious

Hemorrhagic virus which is no longer contained
Rate of death grows faster, no one is immune
Thousands perish daily, dead blood flowing
Panicked sheep all screaming, rampage of fleeing
Fever racks your body, skin is burning
Human beings slowly die
One path to death, this outbreak
Many ways we all can die
Silent killers' drawing flies

Aftermath - final path
Aftermath - final path

Mass extinction calling
Human race is falling
Corpses now dissolving
World is rendered silent
No more plagues of violence
Mother Earth defiant

Now life exists, without humans
New life unfolds, unimpeded
See new days, Earth will flourish
Worlds bane dead, free of cancer
Pollution, will diminish
Our plague ends, we won't return
The sixth wave, of extinction
Self destruct, we killed ourselves
Horizon, sights still unseen
Aftermath
Aftermath of our extinction

It's all for the :lol:s

How the fuck is it possible for not one, but two people who work in a microbiology lab to not know what ebola virus is?

That seriously blows my mind.

My thoughts exactly! My boss was dumbfounded when I told her about it. She attributed it to them being young too.

Do you take classes on how to be an extreme asshole or something? If not, you should offer them, you might as well have a Ph.D. in it.

I'm the father of the field of asshology. Not using any drugs helps a lot too.

You sure that stimulants don't help you excel in your field?

That is counter-intuitive. So you're nicer when you're on drugs? Usually people are bigger asshole on stims.

No. Quite a bit more hardcore than that. You bleed out of your eyes and shit your intestines out, then the skin on your tongue sloughs off while you are vomiting black blood. A little bit more intense than the flu.

I read The Hot Zone in high school biology I think.  Ebola and Marburg are pretty interesting.
