anyone seen this? hope its not true!

i'm surprised that we'd let anyone back in the country who has not been in a quarantine situation at the country of origin for a few weeks. if they did that then they would know if they have it or not. if they develop the disease then they stay there, if not then they can come home.

 

seems stupid to do it any other way.

 

As Huk says, these are dirt road countries lacking infrastructure

 

They cant even keep a lid on the spread of the disease, much less set up quarantine

 

The sad fact is that an infected person could be half way around the world before becoming symptomatic

illuminati need a reduction in the human population or we are going to consume the planet to death, there are no great wars to keep numbers down so they have to infect us with viruses, within 10 years 20% of the population is gone due to ebola so there task will be complete until the next time.…

 

I'm looking out my tin foil hat :lol:

 

seriously though, I'm not bothered, statistically theres more chance of me getting killed driving to the shops.Happy new year when it comes:beer:

Ebola is very hard to catch, the poor health systems, lack of basic infrastructure combined with traditions such as washing of and touching (dead) bodies, witchcraft, expense of treatments, suspicions of 1st world medicine has resulted in the slow spread in west africa.

 

In a first world health / infrastructure / knowledge location, it would be easily monitored and contained.

 

If you want to worry about something worry about an airborne disease such as a new strain of flu.

 

I am astounded by the selfless bravery of our (and other countries) health care professionals who volunteer to go to west africa and help these people, placing themselves in danger.

 

There is screening on exit in west africa and on arrival in the UK. In addition these are people with 100% knowledge of ebola, who would recognise the symptoms, but there is a 2 week (?) incubation period when people are not infectious before symptoms appear.

 

If it was a problem to treat infected patients here, why would they take someone from Scotland to north west London for treatment to a hospital immediately surrounded by thousands of houses/flats ? Shurely they would take them to a remote treatment facility?
