Wellllllll, I guess we know what happened to Danielle's crew now-"time ebola" I suppose...and yet she's still here. Minkowski suggested it would happen to everybody if "we keep going back to that island". Maybe, for some of the people on Danielle's boat, it wasn't their first trip? Was Danielle affected any, or did her being pregnant/birthing, and/or she came once and never left, somehow keep her from going bonkers?...(<>..<>)

Alice: "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”
Ash (shows shotgun): "All right you primitive screwheads, listen up. See this? This is my BOOM STICK! It's a 12-gauge double barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine ninety-five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. Ya got that! Now I swear. The next one of you primates even touches me.."

Danielle's group might have been effected by the island and the Magnatism and she didnt because she might not have had the exposure that they did. Notice that Desmond is the only one of the Losties that seems to be having these effects. He was in the Hatch when it exploded. I am not sure if Locke is having the effects or not but Desmond is for sure and who knows if Charlie would have shown symptoms had he lived.
Wow, so after reading a few of the posts on here, it seems fairly obvious now that "the sickness" has just been explained in this episode. Some of us were so afraid it had been written off as some unexplained thing, but tonight it finally makes sense. This is why Rousseau's band of shipmates all went crazy and "got sick".
I guess now a new question emerges (of course) - why aren't the Losties affected the same way?
The sickness I think has to do with prolonged exposure to elecromagneticrays. Could be possible that certain people react diffrently to this. Say maybee 90% get sick from it and the other 10% are not affected.
Something related to electromagnetic or radiation exposure perhaps? I think only Desmond so far because of the hatch implosion has been exposed to enough electromagnetism to get the sickness from the time displacement. Maybe something happened on Rousseau's boat that she was away from/shielded from.
Well, I think going in on the right "bearing" has something to do with it.
Desmond became "unstuck in time" when they went off bearing in the storm.
I'm guessing Danielle's ship came in on a bad bearing, and flight 815 came in on the right one (just by luck, probably).
So the real question becomes: why is Danielle not affected. Not that she's the picture of sanity, but she's obviously not affected the same way Desmond/ Minkowski was.
I'm not sure this is the sickness. None of these folks seem to have become so dangerous that they would need to be shot--and death from the side effects seems to come pretty fast on its own.
