   I’m not sure that’s true, NebulousRikulau. Hemorrhagic fever is a group of viral diseases including Ebola and Marburg. People with those infections might survive if one of the treatments now under study turns out to be effective, but current treatments don’t offer much chance of survival.

    Those were the days, except that living in New York my parents read the Times, which never had comics. I had to wait until Monday when the neighbors put out the comics from the Daily Mirror and the Journal American — now both gone.

    But, on Sunday morning there was a radio show where somebody read the comics. Don’t ask what radio was. Radio was sort of like television if you turn your back to the screen.
