I have been obsessed with plagues ever since I was a little kid, so I have been avoiding the news coverage of Ebola because I knew it would frankly scare the crap out me. But what I do know about it, is that they have been going overboard and scaring everyone to the point that they think if they sneeze they have the deadly virus.
Well yesterday on Conan, the TBS show mocked how insane the news outlets have been going over this story. In the process of reporting the news, they have been making mistakes and they pointed that out too.
Not only are the news show going crazy over Ebola, so is the CDC. So they made sure to also point that out with a very heavy price.
This segment would be even funnier if it wasn’t so true. As I was posting the story, there was a report about a cruise ship being turned around because a woman who might, yes might, have handled that Dallas patient’s blood is on it. Mexico reportedly refused them entry. Which is crazy because she was already in quarantine on the ship.
I also would’ve personally laughed harder at this bit if I wasn’t a little over a mile away from their studio and sneezed as I was watching it. Achoo! Dang you Andy Ryechter, you better not have gotten me sick.
