When do we don the MOPP gear?
Who do we listen to when the talking heads are still maintaining that "Everything is fine"?
Natural disasters and/or man-made disasters are one thing, but biological hazards are another animal all together. My first instinct is to bug-in once Ebola cases start being confirmed in my state. That may seem hasty, but I'm not taking any chances when it comes to my family. I'd rather us be broke and alive than take that particular risk.

Yeah, I am afraid though there some of those guys, some guys in Big Pharma and some guys in DC who can't sleep due the anticipation of the big bump up they plan on seeing in their stock portfolios....some of which will get kicked back in campaign donations for 2016.
