On Newsnight an expert said the risk of an outbreak in the U.K. is negligible, how
can he be so sure bearing in mind current EU migration rules plus who knows how
many Africans coming in via Calais.

They already have the anti virus, so no need to worry.
Oh i forgot to say that it is only available to the 1% |

Not spread via airborne particles, so the message is: don't get all touchy-feely with immigrants. Or let them come in your mouth.

eating Bush Meat (whatever that is) is how it starts although only once (on the BBC World Service) have I heard this mentioned.
It maybe a favourite dish of everyones but try to avoid eating curried monkey brains. |

There will certainly be Ebola patients from Africa who come to us in the hopes of receiving treatment. And they might even infect a few people here who may then die. But an outbreak in Europe or North America would quickly be brought under control. I am more worried about the many people from India who work in trade or industry in west Africa. It would only take one of them to become infected, travel to India to visit relatives during the virus's incubation period, and then, once he becomes sick, go to a public hospital there. Doctors and nurses in India, too, often don't wear protective gloves. They would immediately become infected and spread the virus.

Well we will soon see how well the medical services in Spain cope with their problem.
Although we have good isolation facilities they would soon be overwhelmed if there were a significant number of infected people. Soon everyone with a sniffle or touch of flu will be panicking and rushing to the doctors thinking they have Ebola. |

Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards the third world, because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries."

Can Ebola be spread through touching money? can it be spread through touching other objects?
Already seen that people are not touching other people in Africa, what if they leave body fluids on something then someone else touches that object? |
|
By:
Yes.
Avoid being in close contact with others,especially in confined spaces. |
|
By:
There must be hundreds of ways of catching it without actually touching another person ...
How do you know a restaurant has cleaned glasses, cuttlery properly. How do you know that someone with Ebola is not a raving loony and is trying to pass it on to as many people as possible ... i think we are all screwed |

Michael Crichton wrote about 'The Andromada Strain' 40 years
ago. It was about a deadly virus, luckily it gradually mutated and became harmless and the world was saved. That might be the best hope for EBOLA ,they are currently trying anti bodies from EBOLA survivors as a treatment. |

Africa is probably the worst place for this to spread. Most people don't have a fixed address ... you think you may have Ebola? Yes I do, ok, where can we get in touch with you to give you a cure? Em, I live at one of the mud houses 45 miles from here ... "oh dear"

What they need is someone with a good memory and reliable transport...Shalke, you should contact a Liberian ambulance company and see if you could be of assistance.

I bet the flu jabs actually contain Ebola !

To be at risk you would need to leave your house so most on here should be perfectly safe.

We need to be wary that nobody decides to use this virus against us. One infected person could contaminate an awful lot of victims if doing so deliberately. Not as spectacular as a car-bomb...but far more effective! And expensive and it causes panic!

can't drop it on IS as most will be coming back home here.

It has just been found in France.
I heard that the virus has started to mutate in isolated areas of Sierra Leone. If correct that is bad news. |

What baffles me most is that governments have known for months of the Ebola outbreak and how it has spread to a wider area of West Africa. Why were flights from that area not more strictly controlled? A British man in Macedonia has just died from it. I suppose with transit in other countries it is almost impossible to enforce, but I still think western governments have been way too relaxed thinking that no cases would reach their shores.
