That one time CNN tweeted an Ebola photo and a case of snark broke out

Some people noticed another hilarious reason for tweeting out such a photo.

I like that CNN is tweeting a picture of ebola bacteria. It will be handy in case I encounter it in the wild. With my microscope vision.

The sentiment remains the same.

@andsarah2 @ingdamnit Fool! That's not a microscopic image. Ebola has evolved. IT'S HUGE. IT'S THE SIZE OF CATS NOW.

Thanks for tweeting a photo of the Ebola virus, CNN. Now I'll know exactly what it looks like when I encounter it in real life.

In the meantime, be warned:

@andsarah2 @rubyjnkie don't touch it!!! Don't touch the picture!
