I didnt confuse them in the way that you're trying to frame but to be fair the ebola epidemic ended in 2016 so it's not like its ancient history. But you're also a former cop so I question your intelligence tbh. I haven't known a cop that wasnt dumb as rocks. Its bottom tier "I cant find a real career so I settled for this job."
Oh you got me! But if you seriously cant grasp the significant differences between the two diseases it's not like you'd see the irony in claiming that "these guys only see what the media feeds them hyuck hyuck hyuck. I'm way too smart for that".
See this is where your lack of intelligence comes into play. I heard the news in the background the other day and they mentioned that there were diseases coming out into CA and wherever else (like I said I was half paying attention and I dont remember which news organization it even was). It must have been measles that they mentioned but like I said it was in the background. But also I wouldnt be shocked at all if some dudes from poverty stricken areas brought Ebola in. Hell, it could happen tomorrow. Why do you think the government has been so adamant about everyone being vaccinated lately? It's because they know people with diseases are coming in.
No, man. I get it. Its common to confuse regularly vaccinated diseases with dramatic hemorrhagic fevers. Youre totally right.
