Ebola.

Jeeso, a tiling forum seriously discussing the details of a biological issue. Ok, it's just banter mind but my opinion on it is, NO... It would make no difference if it's as bad as they say, apparently the virus is airborne ... I think that's really all we need to know

The done the same with sars never had one case reported in the world so yes a pr stunt

And posted in general chat , which I believe is for all things other than tiling banter.

any body that has been or comes from the infected countrys should be banned from any travel full stop thats how you cut the rick of spreading.so i will paint you a picture .case one comes back from a family wedding showing no signs of infection on arrival to the uk .go back to work making sandwichs for all the super markets petrol stations 5 days latter starts to get a fever but still goes to work needs the money well now have made over 5000 sandwitchs sent all over the country now goes to the hospital and is confirmed to have ebola . two weeks later there are cases breaking out all over the uk as the virus can live up to seven days out side the body most with the ebola have never even been in contact with an african so they think they have the flue carry going to work infecting there work mates there family now all infected there sin buying a sandwitch on the way home .now over 1000 infected dierctly and over 10000 indirectly do you think the nhs could cope i dont think they could cope with more than ten so the goverment of the day is playing russian reulett with every man women and child in the uk .

Anyone showing no symptoms of ebola are not infectious. ....it has up to a 21 day incubation period and untill they start having the symtoms then there not infectious. On average ebola infected people , infect two other people...compared to the recent sars outbrake when one infected person would infect five others....measles is one person will infect 18..
And ebola on average has a 48% death rate so is not an automatic death sentence...
Saying that I still wouldn't want to catch it...

 

[dave l and l]

i am pretty sure you need to be in direct contact with someone who has ebola,or eat bushmeat from an infected area. ( no dinner the night then )
passing it through sandwiches, really....
it is not as infectious as the flu,

Hi David,
My wife works in Vaccines, the facts are being concealed from us mainly due to EU Freedom of movement rules which this government is backing.
Porus boarders, no controls it is expected here big style! The powers that be are looking after themselves with available vaccines and trial drugs directed to London.
What is going on in the background is unbelievable and we are being lied to as usual.
Not the place for political comments maybe but there has to be change!!!

 

[dave l and l]

have the got a vaccine for it now. what from i gathered they were still trying...
i firmly believe that the government and the press are all liars.especially after the referendum as the propaganda and lies we were told and are still being told is a total disgrace
also expect it to get worse. not sure if i even see a point in screening at heathrow,,,

 

[White Room]

Your've got to start somewhere and Heathrow seems a good starting and it makes us all feel so secure and safe....

 

[dave l and l]

yeah what i meant is should the screening not be happening in the west african countries rather than britain, and if someone shows up and has ebola what about the other hundred or so people that were on the flight.basically is the screening here not a bit pointless,,,,

My comment was slightly tongue in cheek Dave:smilewinkgrin:

It is if it's a concern and great information relevant to our health...

They can screen all they like, it is coming here. No ifs buts or maybes. The only things to consider is how badly it comes here, a few infected in the grand scheme of things not so bad. Unless it's you or one of yours. But if a wrong un brings it here, someone that purposefully wants to spread it to do harm. That's the one I am worried about. Let's face it there are quite a few people around the world that would love to do serious damage to the uk..

Hopefully this will turn into panics from the past. Bird flu pandemic springs to mind........that never happened?
