How Will Expats Be Affected When Ebola Arrives In Argentina?

[camberiu]

Fear creates urgency, gets people to click.
Take ebola and stack it on top of ISIS, even better for clicks.

Most people also live very boring, uneventful and unexciting lives. These news also give the audience a sense of thrill that can be very addictive.

Sad but true. Personally, I'd rather enjoy a nice toke of paco rather than read post-apocalyptic disaster porn.

Most people also live in fear, but they have a natural craving to know what to be afraid of..so they can avoid it (like the plague).

Only those who disdain their fellow citizens, and hide away from them in the Gulch, are truly living in fear.

It is actually pre-apocalyptic disaster speculation. If it was porn it would include photos of naked people (hopefully, not infected with late stage ebola).

Oil.

I wouldn't be surprised if a case happened in Scotland. Huge number of oil workers going to and from western Africa, Scotland and USA

There are African immigrants in BA nowadays - started a number of years ago.

Seriously this thread is hilarious. Ebola, 9/11, ISIS. What's next, a shark attacks expat fugitive Bill Buckley while his plane is crashing?

This is fearmongering George Bush and Karl Rove would be proud of.

Not to put a damper on the fear-mongering and I am enjoying the hilarity of it but this might put the danger in perspective

Unfortunately, a large portion of my familial unit has chosen to build its nest there.
