period has, for some, expired or is, for others, about to expire, suddenly the newz is shreaking that the quarantines should be lengthened because new information about the virus indicates that it can take longer than the 21 period that has been the standard since this crisis began.
Also, suddenly right-wingers believe in evolution. It seems, all of a sudden, that Ebola is now an incredible mutator and extremely more dangerous due it's ability to...get this...EVOLVE. Ebola, apparently, is now in a phase of small mutations that are going to bring on a viral apocalypse!
They sure do have a selective attitude when it comes to health and science. They deny climate science while depending on medical science to save their frightened lives. The disavow evolution but are scared to death of a virus evolving.
Shaking. My. Head.

(2,100 posts)They acknowledge it exists. I guess to deny something so blatantly obvious is too ludicrous even for them. Apparently god made the higher animals in exactly the same species form they are today but decided it would be cool to build evolution into the very smallest creatures. You know, just to mess with us. Like fossils.
