Ebola victim suits were the costume of choice at New York’s annual Halloween parade.

Creativity was on display and current events were on marchers’ minds as a costumed crowd of thousands flowed up Sixth Avenue on a windy Halloween night.

Dr. Jane Testa sported a ‘hammer out Ebola’ costume featuring a hazmat suit, flashing lights, a large version of the virus – made of balloons – and a sign with a biohazard symbol and the message: ‘Quarantine: Ebola outbreak. Deadly force may be used.’

‘Don’t get too close!’ Testa warned, holding a balloon hammer with a red cross.[su_csky_ad]

    Halloween is the best time to deal with fears and put things in perspective, so good going.

    Last of all 7 US treated Ebola patients condition upgraded to “Stable” “based on our patient’s clinical progress and response to treatment,” according to a statement by the city’s Health and Hospitals Corporation.
    Dr. Spencer, 33, has been receiving antiviral and blood-plasma therapies that have been successful in treating Ebola patients at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta and Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/02/nyregion/new-york-ebola-patients-condition-improves.html?_r=0

    Are they laughing at Ebola or at the fear of Ebola?

    I suppose costumes of politicians spewing Ebola nonsense would have been too subtle.

      Before the Republicans turned bat shit insane, I didn’t take voting very seriously. This midterm election, I voted early. The GOP is doomed.

        I did too. The clerk told me that they’d had a LOT more people voting early this year.
