<p>The voluminous lecture notes are electronic these days, but I believe they do still sell the textbooks. </p>
<p>I suspect Amazon or EBay could have the toys. I do find them amusing, but don’t think I’m rushing out for one. </p>
<p>Beanie Baby redux? ;)</p>
<p>^^ Amazon listing for Giant Microbes’ Ebola plush: “Currently unavailable. We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.”</p>
<p>Rats. Apparently there are other geeky science families out there who do their Christmas shopping early. </p>
<p>Maybe I should hold on to my D’s MDR TB microbes…

<p>Or they may have pulled it due to offending some, being in poor taste.</p>
<p>A Steeler was just puking on the field. Should the whole team be quarantined? 
</p>
<p>^yes, and everyone is the stadium - cause you know - it may go airborne. </p>

<p>“Is it safe to venture outside yet? I’ve been hiding at home.”</p>
<p>I’ve been trying a different tactic. Traveling constantly, hitting every public bathroom, airline and transportation system possible in a 1,000 mile radius from my home. Not sick yet, maybe exposure to massive amounts of germs has given me immunity.</p>

<p>Not available either! I think that’s what “in remission” means </p>
<p>You can still get E. coli or dust mites, though.</p>
