How about a separate Ebola forum?

[Anonymous]

Eh, the ebola threads will dry up once the disease is no longer in the limelight. Might be a little while, but I think creating a separate forum would be silly.

It seems like whenever there's some big national obsession like this, lots of threads pop up and someone inevitably asks Jeff to create a forum for it. It always goes away.

If you don't like the ebola threads, it's really easy to avoid clicking on them.

Ebola threads are obviously contagious, but the mortality rate of the threads is over 90%. So, just wait. All but a few will soon be gone.

Yup. I think the only issue like this that ever got its own forum was the George Huguely murder.

Thanks for locking the asinine trick or treating in Dallas thread.

Can you check if the AMA work at Dallas Preb Hospital is actually posting from the DFW area?

Quarantine the ebola threads!

I have been posting on ebola on existing threads.

The only reason I opened a separate one for the Inova Loudoun suspected case was because it is closer home.

However, I understand your wish not to have a proliferation of threads on every case - suspected or confirmed. My apologies.

Yeah but there was a separate forum for the lacrosse/UVA thing and that's a lot less interesting than ebola.

Yes, that poster is posting from that area.
