#3 Raj, I used to live in Braintree and we drove through it yesterday. Now I live about 35 miles west.

I'm staying here and taking in the welcome mat.

#4 Please don't call any "Ebola cases" unless & until the blood tests are +.
No point in spreading more FUD than is warranted by facts. Discussions of policies & defense strategies against Ebola are a different matter.

#5 I talked to my brother who lives near Boston yesterday. He hasn't seen any dead Ebola patients in the streets, no severed heads, either. Life is good there.

#6 Funny.
No street corner pressure cookers?

#7 My mistake, AH9418 - I should have put a question mark in the title.

I'll follow up on this post once the hospital in question (Beth Israel Deaconness) confirms the results of any test.

#8 I lived in Woburn for 2 years. I liked it there. I liked Boston a lot. Made some good friends and dispelled some myths about southerners. I probably re-inforced some others.

#9 I would like to encourage all Rantburgers to strongly consider getting a flu shot this week. Contact in HC/ infectious control is telling me that if Ebola stays in the news past the "short attention span news theater", you will not want to be showing up at any medical facility with common flu like symptoms. Chances are you will be put in the room with all the other fever sufferers while they rule out Ebola.

#10 My sincere thanks Cap. I immediately copied your #9 and forwarded to friends and family. Your short paragraph and prudent suggestion may have save some lives.

#12 Got mine the beginning of the month, Cap. My firm gives them out to all employees who want one.

Last year they not only gave me my flu shot, they gave me my needed pneumonia booster shot (which I had planned on paying my doctor for).

I love my job. :-D
