Ebola Virus Crisis.

Half the planet will be dead soon ... Media is doing it's best not to start a mass panic

that will end the houseing shortage

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.

No yawning on public transport is a preventative measure^^

All flights from West Africa should be stopped....NOW !

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.

always knew bush tuckka was wrong....

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.


Peter Piot, who discovered the Ebola virus in 1976

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."
- Henry Kissinger

National Security Memo 200, dated April 24, 1974

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?

Yes.

Avoid being in close contact with others,especially in confined spaces.

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

Imagine trying to tell CMAT that he can't cuddle any more Africans, he's going to be gutted.

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.

The curious thing about ebola and aids is it reputedly comes from bush tucker,
Now if thats the case how come aids and ebola are spread by bodily fluid transmission.
Bush tucker? My moneys on monkey fecker.

I can think of other ways of wiping out the disease

Make sure you get Satellite broadband to keep up with your Betfair investments.

The people that run this world wanted this disease to spread, and thats what it will do ... they will just sit back and watch it happen

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.

Not mentioned at Lib Dem conference so obviously nothing to worry about.

I reckon in only 5 weeks time there will be a worldwide panic ... countries may start to close their borders and stop travel ... meanwhile in the UK the government hold aloft banners saying "come to the UK, free burgers"

3 weeks quarantine
show any simpletons, then shot

Is there any chance of asking a few West Africans showing signs of infection to pay a flying visit to Iraq?

Yup, just like the film 28 days later ..

good idea drop the dead on Ismalic state, 2 birds one stone

I know I was thinking that earlier ...

Even better, instead of dropping bombs on them ... just explode the bodies over the Islamic State splattering them with blood and goo lol

otherwise send for starbug and Kryten
the horseman are acoming

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.

sacre bleu!

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.

Probably a good way to get off work though if you've got a hangover. Sorry boss I'm not coming in today i think I might have ebola

lessons will be learned etc.

I think I'll be ok for the Christmas party. Doctor said I need to keep my feet up and make sure I'm not bleeding out my arse.

Certainly keeps lots of other stuff out of the headlines.  Look what foreigners bring to our country - not juse ebola either.

Christmas parties would be tombola shirley

Take the car. Go to Mum's. Kill Philip - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Spanish Flu killed up to 100m people in 1918/19 so ebola still has a way to go.

What is interesting is why the US govt has taken out a patent on ebola...

http://www.google.com/patents/US20120251502

...with the names of its inventors listed? WTF is that all about?

Missionary in Brazil suspected to have Ebola which would be the first case in South America

All part of the plan.. Tip.

Probably invent a pill, and say. Please take this.it will prevent you from infection by Ebola.

On TV tonight was 'The Crazies' surely a bit thoughtless.
