if this thing ever gets into the UK and I still say its a big IF, then the best protection is to stay away from other people...especially the "general public" in big open air public events, festivals, football games, markets, car boots,air ports, that sort of thing. if it is passed by "bodily fluids" then limiting our exposure would be the correct thing to do, if possible go into total lockdown/ isolation for the duration however long that might be(that's why we have food stores isn't it?). losing some of ones salary is better than losing ones life..which is quite possible with an 85-90% "KILL" rate.

I saw an interview with one DWB volunteer who specified that this strain was transmittable through all body fluids, including SWEAT!

Hot sweaty people in the heat of the tropics, crowded into busses, trains and vehicles, dripping infection with every movement and a disease with a 48-72 hour window where the infection is transmittable and the victim shows no symptoms.

And now it has moved into the bodies of the middle class and government workers. The people that fly to London, Liverpool and Glasgow on a daily basis.

good job I'm nowhere near London, Liverpool or Glasgow then!!! and never liable to be. and the middle class and (West African) govt workers don't come here, no reason and no money!! maybe they'll fly on to Dallas or JFK air ports instead!!!...................................

Now Sierra Leone's top Ebola Doctor has died from the disease, are these Doctors Rubbish at preventing contamination, or is the Virus more potent than we are led to believe?

or is the Virus more potent than we are led to believe?

With the UK Government convening the COBRA Committee today to specifically discuss the Ebola threat, it does make you wonder......

I heard he's been given the all clear- false alarm.

That's just the one they caught and cleared.

One thing the governments of our western nations has proven is that they have absolutely zero ability to keep undesirable illegal aliens outside our borders.
