Same day too
This is like a game of Pandemic.
Its fucked.
Its all fucked.
America will be hit hard. Most of us wait to see the doctor until we are on the brink of death, by which point an infected person would be incredibly contagious. A cough, a sneeze, a brush of the arm. Boom, ebola.
People need to grasp what's going on here. The facilities in this region are just not suited for this kind of situation. The people there are very difficult to deal with thinking the doctors are killing people for body parts, nurses going on strike because they are too afraid to deal with the people infected, and people breaking out of quarantine. That's just some of the issues not all of them.
It's not comparable to a developed nation.

Guess it's not as bad as Captain Trips...

Unless you want to be nuked in containment, I wouldn't.
+1 to anybody who get's this reference.
or maybe read my last post before turning me into the bad guy

Essentially the risk is really low he infected anyone else. Ebola is contagious, but it's not airborne. To contract it you have to be in direct contact with bodily fluids. So in all likelyhood all the passengers on the planes are fine unless he peed on them or something.
Somebody really should make an official topic for this. Every time there's news somebody has to make a new one.

If the virus is so hard to transmit it would have been vanished/wiped out already.
You will bleed out from the inside out in your panic bunker, 10 ft underground from any other human, alone and afraid.My panic bunker is fucking set.
I WILL SURVIVE.

I prefer Death Organ's cover myself.Fucking, Sawyer.
Today's Patrick Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you
Mmhmm yeah, I'm never going to Africa.

I'd wait for a better source than the Mirror. They are only one notch below the Daily Nail in terms of spreading bullshit.
It's as much of a threat to you as AIDS. You probably aren't going to be affected.
672 people after 4-5 months
truly, the world is doomed.
EDIT:
lolz.
again: 672 people
They look like that because they're not fuckin stupid. They could wear less, but why risk it?again: "body fluids" is very vague with ebola. even the sweat is highly contaminated. so touching an infected person is enough to transmit the virus. Fine mucus spread out while sneezing or coughing is also considered as body fluids. So I don't think it's fair to say that ebola is "not airborne".
If the virus is so hard to transmit it would have been vanished/wiped out already.
there's a reason helpers in the affected countries look like the Liquidators of Chernobyl incl. 2 pair of gloves, etc

The Ebola affecting people right now in Africa is one of a handful of similar viruses known over a larger geographical range. Some of the deaths found in the larger data set of all known outbreaks are from individuals who showed up in a hospital nowhere near where they got the disease, or laboratory workers. The best way to estimate mortality rates related to the present outbreak in West Africa is to take only field cases — actual outbreaks in normal populations — in Africa only, and to not count “outbreaks” that are not outbreaks because only one person is in the sample.
...
Ebola probably has a very high mortality rate when an infected person gets no medical treatment, and a mortality rate closer to 50% when a person quickly gets medical attention. There is no cure, but when a patient is given IV solutions in a hospital setting the chance of survival goes way up. This might suggest that smaller outbreaks that run their course before intervention would have a higher mortality rate, or that the mortality rate would be higher near the beginning of the event. Similarly, one might expect mortality rates to be higher in the early years of Ebola than later, as treatment methods developed.
what if he sneezed and only covered his mouth slightly? WAT THEN? Imagine that stuff stuck in a closed plane, going all around. Spores from the last of us bro
'potential threat'. they're fairly confident no UK citizen has been infected. finally some sensible news reporting.How about the BBC? Though admittedly the article is less panicky.
