Would you still hobby if...

If there was an ebola outbreak in the GTA would you refrain from hobbying? Or at least until things died down. And would the service providers take the same lead?
I'm just curious what you all think. Because it's a very plausible scenario living in a multi cultural city like Toronto.
We already had our first scare. Thankfully it turned out to be a false alarm.

fear mongering.

Personally, I don't really know much about ebola, how it's spread, etc.
But if there is a pandemic of a deadly communicable disease that can be spread through close contact (speaking in general terms here, not about ebola, per se).. you'd be foolish to engage in risky activities that could increase your chances of getting sick.

Or at least until things died down.

Curious choice of words.

There are always liars out there. But if you haven't been in West Africa, you haven't shared bodily fluids (that does in the case of Ebola including touching if the victim is hemorrhaging) you don't have a fever, headache or rash (in which case even if you don't have Ebola what the Hell are you doing exposing another person to your illness) then the odds are with you.

A good mantra when dealing with diseases like HIV and Ebola is: "If it's wet, if it's warm, and if it isn't yours. Don't touch it!"
