Solar eclipses throughout history have always been thought of as a harbinger of death and destruction, which is having some on Twitter joke about a link between yesterday’s partial solar eclipse and the news of Ebola arriving in New York City. Well, we think they’re joking:
In ancient times, a solar eclipse with a new case of Ebola would be linked. I just link Ebola with our inept government today.

I read somewhere I think it was on CNN cause they're so reliably accurate, that if you stare at the eclipse tonite too long you'll get ebola
