It was a few weeks ago.
Anyway I guess you are on about this fresh outbreak in Europe with someone infected their. Worried? I am getting a little that way is a bloody terrible thing to get although survival chances will be better in western Europe |

Ebola outbreak: Spanish nurse diagnosed with virus
1 hour ago
Investigations are under way at a hospital in Madrid after a Spanish nurse became the first person known to have contracted the deadly Ebola virus outside West Africa.
The nurse had treated two Spanish missionaries who died of the disease after being flown home from the region.
Three other people, including the nurse's husband, have been quarantined. |

I know this might sound silly to some but we are spending a few hundred in the next few days on tinned food and water.
I would rather start taking precautions now rather than later as I can imagine if it does come into the UK then the shops are going to empty pretty quick. |

Is it me or do have something like this pop up like this every few years?
Swine flu
Bird Flu
SARS
We always have a big panic about it and them it just dies down. The healthcare here is pretty good. Obviously seek medical attention if you have symptoms.
How difficult is to too start a drug company? They must make a mint when these things pop up. |

Yes I thought that re swine flu and bird flu.
Like others have said - at least here we have far better medical facilities . Plus haven't we just deployed 100 army medics to Sierra Leone to set up a field hospital to treat any medical staff that contract it out there. Hopefully that will help too. |

Though I do agree a bit with what you say I've been reading about Ebola and botofogo (think that's how it's spelt) for years it's not new and has been popping up at regular intervals in the past it's been pretty self containing but this time containment seems to be a massive issue. Though I do believe we can deal with this in the U.K. we won't be getting wiped out anytime soon. |

I've considered this. It's always "WAR! but look over there! A deadly virus that will probably kill you. Why not spend money you saved and enjoy things before your eyes and ass fall out"
I'm pretty sure setting up a drug company would be tough |

EBOLA VICTIM RISES FROM THE DEAD. Ganta, Liberia – Officials in Liberia have released the first confirmed image of a captured Ebola victim who rose from the dead. The name of the victim has not been released by the WHO, and news of the patient rising from the dead comes only hours after the United States announced its First Ebola victim in Dallas, Texas.
The Liberian government is accusing the United States of creating Ebola as a bioweapon to use for future wars. Citizens of Liberia have expressed outrage and concern that the US may have tested an ‘evolved’ form of the virus on their nation’s populace, not forseeing the virus’ spread reaching beyond medical containment.
The first reports of Ebola victims rising from the dead was reported by Liberia’s National Newspaper. Initially, officials from the World Health Organization fled in shock and horror as the Ebola patients suddenly arose from the dead. After organizing military reinforcements and obtaining increased containment measures, World Health Organization’s special operations staff quickly responded with military assistance and quarantined the two Ebola victims who arose from the dead.
With Texas now infested with an unknown amount of Ebola patients, nearby Kansas has declared a state of emergency. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback has declared October “Zombie Awareness Month” and the state is on high alert for a zombie outbreak. Homes across the state are to receive pamphlets warning them of how to prevent the spread of Ebola and what to do if an Ebola Victim falls dead and then starts to show life again.
Updates will be made to this report as details become available. Please continue to watch television and online news sources for the latest details. Officials estimate the Ebola virus will spread to over 5 million people within two months. The virus is deadly if not treated. It is currently not known how many people the Dallas Ebola victim came in contact with before quarantine measures were put into place.
For the first time in human history, confirmed footage is captured of a man who scientists watched die from Ebola then only several hours later, regain life and rise from the dead. |

the difference between ebola and other other types of virus such as swine flu for example is that Ebola is not an airbourne virus as such...
it is only transmitted by exchanges of fluids....
so to catch it you would have to be close... and i mean really really really close |

This rising from the dead is a crock of crap, that sight that 'leaked' this is a scam site, it also 'leaked' pics of Paul Walker after his death saying it was all a hoax and he wasn't even in the car, far to many gullible people out there for these idiots to pray on.
Setting up a drug company would not work as there is at present no none cure, there are trial vaccine that have worked on some victims not all
Major airports and hospitals are on high alert and are up to date on protocol, it's like the old saying 'forewarned is forearmed' stop panicking and deal with the here and now not the what ifs |

Scaremongering is a favourite of the tabloid newsheets.
The daily star ran stories every day for weeks trying to spread panic regarding false widow spiders stating it causes everything from rotting skin to polarasis and death.
However if you actually read the information contained on sites which specialise in spiders their bite and venom is no worse than a wasp sting. But according to the star we were all at risk of dieing. When that failed to cause a stir they have now moved onto giant frogs which can eat rats overunning the country. Shite paper |

I think the risks for Western Europe are pretty minimal but its going to be a struggle to get Sierra Leone under control because places are either densely populated like Freetown or are in the arse end of nowhere and extremely hard for health care staff to access. 100 army medics will certainly help but wont solve the problem.
If it got a hold in Nigeria Id be very worried. |

The capital investment to start a drugs company is humongous!
The 10 year lead time to get approval per chemical compound for human consumption is untenable for most investors...
The legalities, governmental interference, stakeholder management if expectations and protestations would put the uninitiated off.
But yeah totally agree on all the other stuff.

Indeed Ebola destroys the internal organs so once it's destroyed them and your dead there's nothing left to rise with!  |

Not quite so Fabio, Ebola is a very persistent virus, all that is needed to pass the virus on is for an infected person or cadaver to come in contact with a drinking water source, food or another person to transmit the virus. That is why the bodies of the dead are buried in sealed heavy PVC body bags and there is such strict isolation of those infected.
The real worry is that the virus has made it out of small jungle communities and into large population centres.
Having said that, it does seem to be quite hard to catch but being a virus it will be mutating all the time and will eventually become easy to catch. |

They pop up because they are zoonoses i.e. diseases that exist in an animal species that have, or have developed, the ability to jump species to human.
Most come to light in South East Asia where the population lives in close proximity to animals.
A zoonosis becomes a real problem when the transmission dose is small, infectivity high and the disease causes a high mortality.
The influenza pandemic 1918 -1920 infected around 500 million people world wide and killed somewhere up to 100 million. That was H1N1 influenza virus; a zoonosis.
Add in rapid means of transportation by air and you have a perfect storm.
Around 3 new zoonoses are discovered each year and it will probably be a zoonosis that culls the world population back to a sustainable leve.

Ebola virus particles have been show, in laboratory conditions, to be stable and highly infectious as a stable aerosol droplet 0.8 - 1.2 microns which allows respiratory penetration to the alveolar level; which exactly the level that you don't want it at.
The Soviet Union undertook research with filoviruses in an attempt to create a biological weapon, and the Aum Shinrikyo terrorist group is believed to have obtained Ebola cultures before using Sarin gas (nerve agent chemical weapon) in the Tokyo metro station attack of 1995 (an earlier attack occurred, in Matsumoto, in 1994). |

"XXXXXX wil curb the human population".
And it always surprises me how often in these cases we choose to ignore the most likely outcome (nothing happens) and just wish for the magic bullet.
Maybe it's the natural state of modern man.... To just wish for somebody/something else to take care of their problems? |

Okay call it prepared but I have a couple of storage boxes under my stairs... They have tinned food.. ( that every few months I swap for new stuff..) bottled water, camping gear, wind up torches and lamps, first aid stuff and in General a survival kit waiting to be thrown in the car. Candles and lighters too and a camping stove with Gas.
In my shed I have boards that could be put on my Windows...
I have this all in case of an emergency... Not necessarily a bad thing.
It does not take much to make a mass panic... And not be a me to go to the shops.
My dad started me off... When I was younger he was paranoid about an attack on Heathrow or northalt..
I don't see it as being paranoid. More just prepared in case .
I'm not overly worries about Ebola but will keep an eye out anyway x |

A British health worker out there said on the news that worst-case projections are for a million deaths in West Africa alone. Worst-case maybe, but that number made me sit up.
Would it be scare-mongering to mention that we're also currently battling a death cult in ISIL? Mass murdering terror group and undetectable deadly infectious disease would be a match made in Hell. |

Best not to worry. Unless there are scores of infected people sneaking in through our heavily defended and scrutinized border, which I cant imagine, then we will be fine. lol
Boom time for Jehovah's Witnesses, everytime there's a crisis, their sales go up... ...by the way, is it true they frown on blow jobs too?
Its an evil virus, though strangely, everyone was more worried about swine flu... |

Serious comment :
BBC articles have recently stated that even if an infected person gets over Ebola, the virus remains live in semen for a) seven weeks ( a while ago) and b) now it's 3 months (article this week).
Be careful, very careful indeed. I dare say contact with a small amount when removing a condom may be sufficient enough. |

If you read the book "the hot zone" which is a fact based account of an outbreak of a related virus which affected a bunch of lab monkeys I'd be wary of believing this talk of Ebola not being airborne. It's not airborne in the truest sense of the word which means that it could survive and travel freely in the air. But it can survive in water droplets in the atmosphere for a limited time. Such as a sneeze on a plane. Basically the book states that the worst case scenario is an infected person getting on a flight undetected and then the passengers of that flight dispersing around the world. Well....that's already happened. So, as a result of this I now have 120 cans of Stella under my bed and am not leaving the house until we get the all clear!! |

What concerns me is that people from all areas are smuggled from Africa through to the French ports then mill together or get involved with truck drivers. More really needs to be done not to ensure it doesn't spread in the first place. |

Just a thought but the "new" and "first" cases in Spain, Australia and the USA are from returning medics. As the incubation period is 21 days could the UN or similar designate a remote island or airfield area to allocated as a 25 day quarantine facility? once clear allow them onward travel. Admittedly nothing is fail safe as the Spanish nurse has shown but having had checks returning medics would be less likely to return home with an unwanted problem. |

Watched a very interesting horizon episode on the BBC this morning which went into a lot of detail about how American and some European research facilities have developed an experimental yet successful treatment that has treated a few cases with survival in each case.
I think with the possibility of the virus crawling all over the globe on a large scale has kicked them into overdrive on finding and synthesising treatments.
Not really worried here, will follow the work with interest though as any success with virus treatment has gotta be good news. |

"If anyone needs a safe place we have a cellar, I promise I won't chain you up or anything
Is it a wine cellar? If so can we come? And feel free to tie "
If I put a bottle or two of wine down there, does that count as a wine cellar?
If so yes it is |

"What concerns me is that people from all areas are smuggled from Africa through to the French ports then mill together or get involved with truck drivers. More really needs to be done not to ensure it doesn't spread in the first place. "
which is interesting.....
....because there are actually no airline carriers that do direct flight from the uk to the affected countries anyway!
so where they are putting the heat detectors in airports... the passengers would have had to have flown in from somewhere else connecting......
so you would have to check everyone from everywhere that had someone from these countries one it....

Wait for the inevitable racial profiling/discrimination...
We should help Africa.
Guinea however, watch out for the dudes with machetes... |
