ever get that feeling of déjà vu?
This admission saved you a lecture.
I remember that post....I was highly drunk and just wanted a conversation with someone ha
This admission saved you a lecture.
Swine flu, bird flu, foot and mouth, mad cow disease have all carried much more "threats" to people then this and look how they turned out...
First transmission outside Africa confirmed. A nursing assistant caught Ebola when treating the Spanish missionary who died in Madrid last September 26th.
Bound to happen sooner or later, as many of those who get infected head back to their home countries for treatment.
The vaccinations are all experimental so even if they can produce them in 90 days they may not work. My guess is 90 days refers to small scale production rather than the scale of flu shots, MMR etc. Large scale will take longer with greater risks of failure.I know pretty much nothing about how much of a threat that Ebola actually faces, I heard someone discussing how vaccinations take up to 90 days to produce and they have very few left as they weren't expecting an outbreak. It sounded like conspiracy shit to me, but is there substance to it? I'd have thought that developed countries would be able to contain it and treat it and that if it arrived in the UK it wouldn't be that huge a deal.
Panic muchWho knows how many people she contaminated. And how many they have themselves. Unbelievable stupidity shown by the Spanish authorities. How can you be so negligent about a virus that could rival the Black Death if allowed to spread?
Seems to me it isn't that difficult to transmit too. Not so long ago the media would have you believed you have to eat the shit or bathe in the blood of a ebola patient to get it.
What we might find out soon is that it can be transmitted like a regular flu, through coughing and sneezing.
(Apparently) Nigeria contained and got rid of Ebola. They had 20 cases but it's been a while since a case transmitted inside the country has been reported. If they could do it, I suppose our health systems can do it as well, but it's nevertheless a bit concerning.
My nephew's about to be deployed to Sierra Leone very soon.
Join the army see the world they said.
Sounds horrible. I bet you're all scared for him!
Yeah fecking right we are. He's already been in some hairy places but this is different.
From the little he could tell me it sounds like he's training their army. Not sure how his job helps them out though given the situation.
We're all going to die isn't it?Second nurse is Spain reported with Ebola.

Where can I buy a small Island somewhere?
Second nurse is Spain reported with Ebola.
Perhaps because it isn't true?No official news sources are reporting this just yet...
Did this Spanish nurse catch it from touching her face then?
I thought they'd be completely covered up in those suits. Treating someone with your skin on show seems incredibly risky.
They pulled out when they discovered Paddy Fields was a postman.Ireland is going quite cheap at the moment, that is if the Chinese haven't bought it yet...
So, this virus.....can it pass through the skin or does it need to pass from body fluid to body fluid?
Seems more contagious than just direct transfer via body fluids, as with some other viruses.
It is bodily fluids, but you have to remember that in these West African country's, some of the body's are just left in the street, or families take them home with them (Part of their cultures) and therefore easily come into contact.
If the first outbreak had been in a more modern and prepared Nation/City, this outbreak would have been relatively contained by now.
