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
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

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.

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.
