Doge will likely be a minor footnote, considering everything else he’s done.
tastyface•41m ago
The hundreds of thousands of deaths he is directly responsible for will be the defining part of his legacy, as others race to create better electric cars and spaceships and social platforms. The amount of pain and suffering he has caused is immeasurable. There is no coming back from this.

(He knows this, too, given his recent panic on the subject.)

Bender•38m ago
The majority of Ebola deaths are a result of the locals not allowing medical support near the bodies or the infected and also rubbing the bodies of the infected and rubbing themselves are part of some ritual or traditional practice while screaming. There are videos of this dangerous behavior, not posting here as they are far too graphic. Aid groups would not be permitted anywhere near the infected.

If you are interesting in helping people in these situations consider reaching out to rescue.org [1] and let them know. I am not affiliated but have spoken to them in the past. They are great and truly unique people.
