I am afraid nothing you do will protect you from such epidemic.

I stocked up on water and jager, so if there is an outbreak, I will just sit and watch on my porch. The government were morons for not taking the patients to Iran, Iraq, and Isreal. At least then, they would be too sick to fight. Heck, they should have brought the virus to North Korea.
Too late now. Let the pandamonia begin.

El Paso - TX - The Centers for Disease Control has designated El Paso as one of 20 quarantine stations for infectious diseases, including Ebola.
The Sun City is part of a comprehensive system designed to prevent the spread of the disease in the United States.
While ebola has never been detected in the U.S., that doesn't mean it can't make its way to the country. The biggest concern is at airports with international flights and ports of entry, which there are a lot of in the Borderland.
"It's a scary virus ... Definitely," said Dr. Hector Ocaranza, the health authority for the El Paso City/County Health Department. "Terribly deadly. It's one of those viral hemorragic fevers. They haven't found where it's coming from, if it's coming from an animal to the human or what. But we know there is human tissue transmission."
That means it cannot be contracted like the flu, through the air. It can only be spread by direct contact with bodily fluids like saliva or secretions.
The CDC released a map showing the 20 quarantine stations designated across the country, including El Paso, mostly where international travelers arrive. The closest ones are in San Diego and Dallas.
El Paso's CDC offices are located in West El Paso off Sunland Park Drive.
Dr. Miguel Escobedo runs the offices, but would speak with ABC-7 on camera.
However, he told ABC-7 if someone needed to be quarantined for ebola here in El Paso, they would immediately be sent to the hospital.

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -
The New York City Department of Health conducted a massive emergency preparedness drill at 30 facilities across the city on Friday.
They tested the delivery of emergency medications in the event of a biological attack, such as anthrax, or other large-scale public health emergency in the city. The majority of the deliveries will take place to public school buildings.
It's the largest surprise drill in the city's history. The drill was scheduled to take place from approximately 6:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. The majority of participants were given no notice to better test and simulate a real emergency and response.
