Don't get me wrong, smoking and heart disease are problems, but there's nothing ridiculous about being scared of Ebola.
>these problems exist so you should be concerned about that problem
Wtf I love bleeding out of every orifice now.
US actually does some good and goes and stops the spread.

You're about 3 years late with this post, sweetie.

No, we get the point. The point is just dumb false equivalency.
You could also put "GUNS!!!" in there and it would be just as funny.

this
+ all of those are self-inflicted and if you die to it, you deserved it
The thing is, I can't catch obesity from a fat man's cough.
Not that I'm scared of ebola

You'd have a point if there was more of a scare over heart disease than the bubonic plague. That's a pretty hard benchmark to beat, considering people at the time literally thought the bubonic plague sounded in the endtimes. It's not exactly like medieval peasants whose entire villages were dying out of the plague shouted "ZOMG, FEVER!".
The reason modern man cares more about lung cancer and heart disease is that the bubonic plague has been eliminated. Your equivalence is false.

You can't catch ebola from a man's cough either, mate. Only from contact with bodily fluids. The reason why it spreads so fast in Africa is poor hygiene and certain funeral rites. In a country like America, even if ebola became a thing, it would kill its hosts faster than it would spread and eventually lose ground. Unless some waterplant gets infected or something, and those places are heavily guarded/monitored for a reason.

Ebola can be transmitted through saliva so there could be a chance of contracting it through someone coughing near you.

Yeah, if they cough into your mouth like in some barbaric African shithole. In civilized countries you cover your mouth when you cough.
That said, even in an uncivilized shithole coughing at someone isn't a guaranteed infection with Ebola, unlike diseases that travel through air. So assuming proper hygiene practices are in place, ebola will kill its hosts faster than it can spread.

None of those things are as painful and lethal as ebola. They mostly kill people when they're 60 or over, and on top of that they're easily avoidable.

>implying there aren't massive public campaigns against obesity, smoking, and alcohol already
kill yourself
Holy shit how are you dummies not getting it? The amount of Americans infected by ebola were 11. Only two died. It's stupid to worry about ebola when you got more realistic and frequent causes of deaths to worry about.
