I roll D20 to cast Nuke From Orbit.

  This is quite an insensitive thing to say ... or maybe just an insensitive thing to say what everyone is wondering anyway. We don't have a cure ... and won't have one in time to help (almost) anyone who's contaminated in this outbreak. There's really not much we can do except to contain the virus (if we can do that). I don't necessary want to be nuked from orbit, but if I were to contract this illness I'd also rather not linger towards an almost certain death. I know it sounds a bit fatalistic, but why be an organ donor, draft a living will (etc) if you don't consider that one day you may perhaps die? And the truth is that most of us are unable to help the current situation in even the simplest way. Those of us who have a suitable belief system can only pray.

    The chance of death with proper treatment is roughly 40%: so while certainly terrifying, it is far from a certain death.

    It was only meant as a joke, not an actual suggestion. There are far more effective ways to contain Ebola than to introduce nuclear warfare.
