From occasionally observing this outbreak, it doesn’t seem like the world is putting much effort in containing this.

That’s right, the US had 4 patients now. Worldwide, 4951 deaths have occurred.
On a lighter note, I expect the skins to make it deep into the playoffs. After beating the Cowboys, RGIII is coming back and we have a bye after the Vikings. Never mind the fact they are 2 and 6 so far.
The controversy is getting pretty heated regarding the Redskins name. I guess the name has been thrown around for so long, that some people have just assumed it’s part of the everyday vernacular. I would a assume, almost any term relating a color and a skin attached to it, would be inapporiate. For example, would The Washington YellowSkins or The BlackSkins be accepted. I would guess not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskin_%28slang%29
If the “skins” don’t change their name by the end of the season, I will find a different team to cheer for. Unless they make it to the Super Bowl, then I will give them one more season.
