After Over-Blown Reaction To Ebola, Nigerian Writer Pokes Fun At "Measles-Ridden" America

Nigerian satirist Elnathan John has used the current measles outbreak in the U.S. to poke fun at the American over-reaction to the Ebola virus last fall during which some politicians called for a travel ban on impacted west African countries.

It's important to note that measles is MUCH easier to catch than Ebola.

Our thoughts are also with the measles-ravaged country America. I hope we are screening them before they come to Africa.

I'm just kidding America. You know I love you- measles, guns, Kim Kardashian and all...
