Bath officials are confident that they will be ready for the impending ebola outbreak expected to stricken the city later this year. Preparations are valiantly underway as all abled bodied citizens take to digging grave pits, sowing countless body bags and building ceremonial mounds for ritual chanting. Those unfit for physical labour are diligently burning incense in an attempt to appease the evil spirits making their relentless march towards this historic city, which is beloved by many tourists likely to be carrying the ebola virus.Residents say they are preparing for the worst and feel confident that their city will be fully equipped to handle the catastrophic consequences of ebola and their impending doom. As one Bath family disclosed, they feel adequately assured by local officials, particularly after the council's flagellants smeared sheep's blood on their door to mark the home as a dwelling of righteous God fearing Christians. They also noted that though they cannot forgo the intractable ravages of their fate they have found solace in the knowing that their anguish in the temporal realm will soon give way to a new unfamiliar form of suffering expected to be of an eternal quality and hence much more dependable.
