Pentagon: Troops without 'Ebola awareness certificate' will be locked down to base

Filed · 1541

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Top safety officers in the Pentagon ordered a military-wide safety stand down so all service members can be told that Ebola is a bad disease, Duffel Blog has learned.

Doctors with knowledge of the briefing said that service members will be shown "Overreaction And Media Hype," a 90 slide PowerPoint detailing how to avoid a disease that has affected nine Americans.

After the briefing, service members must pass a quiz to receive their Ebola Awareness certificate. Anyone without the certificate is to be considered a public health risk and not allowed to leave base.
