4,000 deaths in Africa and a mortality rate of about 80 percent. And if health care workers are getting it (even if they "screw up") even after using protective gear then Bob Dylan's
phrase "You Do Not Need A Weatherman To Know Which Way The Wind Blows" apt here.

DQ I have been x-raying sick patients (even HIV positive ones) for 20 years. I have never been afraid until now.
