who in America will fall prey to Ebola/ part 2

fiction

There is a delusion of safety prevalent in Americans un-tuned to actualities and and a careful sober consideration of statistical probabilities.

Stay in the great house, the one with all the oaks in front, and wait.

Avoid the inner cities of Detroit and St Louis. It's OK to watch a telecast baseball or football game from there. 

Native American tribes like the Comanches are subdued, it's OK but expensive to go to their casino's from time to time.

Don't open your retirement account statement at the end of October, October can be a bad year for stocks,

It's prudent to avoid the Malls for fear of Ebola and terrorists. It's not necessary to stock up on casks of buried fresh water or secret packs of healthy but distasteful freeze dried foods. Surrond yourself with invisible fleets of battle ships on the oceans of the world and flying fort-tresses cruising the skies everywhere at the speed of sound.

Don't sit next to handsome marines at Starbucks talking to their girlfriend about daily life in Africa where he just served. Don't share the sugar bowl either.

A gun at home is OK but keep it away from the children. A gun or an overhead drone isn't much protection from Ebola though.

Fear God as prudent and ask for sactuary from a hostile world; there is a delusion of safety prevalent in Americans un-tuned to actualities and and a careful sober consideration of statistical probabilities.
