I'm just managing to keep DH off the Ebola "Close the borders!" bandwagon, but it hasn't been easy. He tried to argue that the Americans who were helping in Africa and caught Ebola should have been kept and treated there. I countered that they were Americans, they had the right to come home to be treated. He's becoming paranoid, because (as we all know) if you are even in the same time zone as someone with the virus, you can catch the Ebolas. I keep referring him to the CDC and NIH websites, and they seem to shut him up for the time being. What's funny is that this is the same guy that won't get his flu shot or Hepatitis B series. He says that the flu won't kill him. I don't think he believes me when I tell him that tens of thousands die from the flu every year. Since he doesn't get the flu shot, he gets the flu every year, and while I don't have to deal with a man cold, he's a slow healer. I'm sure that once someone he works with tells him that the flu is a bigger concern than Ebola, he'll believe it. I mean, I'm just his wife, I apparently don't know anything.

Has he seen this?
I had to send this to my mom - she has been freaking out. Especially because I am in tx.
