a roll call of the States; which American State will report the next Ebola victim?

fiction
Edward w Pritchard

An element of hysteria is building in America over the Ebola outbreak. Unfortunately the underlying fear is real; 5,000 soldiers sent to Africa, right where the danger is, soldiers who will eventually return home, hopefully healthy, or properly vaccinated, or having been given the proper dose of a cure. Airplanes in America jet everywhere, thousands of flights and rushing passengers with their own agenda's sharing cooped up accommodations on hundreds and hundreds of flights daily.

America has a highly functional health delivery system but Americans are very individualistic and few Americans would put them selves in voluntary quarantine unless forced by the civil authority if they weren't sick. Which American State will report the next Ebola Victim? We are all at risk but the statistical probabilities of us catching Ebola are unknown now due to lack of knowledge and the American tendency to be overconfident that we can control nature and our environment.

Don't grieve the dead, grieve for ourselves.

Here is what I wrote before;

why do we mourn the dead when we are the ones who suffer?

Why do we mourn the dead when we are the ones who suffer?

Late at night a mournful train whistle blows far off in the night. The moaning continues insufferably. Then the sound is gone, removed soon forgotten. Forever silenced casting no net into the future. Significance nil.

So it is with those who pass on. A tumultuous sea of suffering and no one to share it with, no one who understands. Alone we sing into a sea of sorrow.

Please Lord explain so I understand. I am on fire with expectation. Moaning insufferably soon forgotten.
