* As you watch a hysterical Chris Christie and Andrew Cuomo put in place inhumane and completely illogical quarantine procedures based on stuff FOX news made up instead of science, keep in mind that Doctors without Borders has rotated 3300 Medical Staff through the hot zones during this epidemic. Only 23 workers were infected, but all but 2 were locals infected out in the community where they lived, instead of at work. I realize basing policy on reality and facts goes contrary to the current political climate, but it is cheaper, kinder, and flat out makes way more sense then confining people who pose zero risk of infecting other people in makeshift tent cities with no running water or means of showering.

* Both nurses from Dallas are healthy and free.

* The Army is ignoring the Pentagon guidelines for returning troops from Africa and going with extreme quarantine for people who are not infectious for some reason.

* Where was I today? Half running a festival of Misrule on Game of Bones, after getting crap for sleep because they were taking off our door and doing stuff to it, which involved fourish hours of pounding and power tools while Hector hid in my room with me.

* The Financial Situation continues Scary. Squirrel seriously messed up his leg last week and can't work. He's out for another four days, so his paycheck is going to be tiny.: http://www.gofundme.com/cuovws
