ebola - the last days

Why should I be bothered if I'm the only one saying something? Do I need to get a consensus?

I have no fascination with your title. I have a criticism of it which I have conveyed.

This is an obvious fake front page of the Mail. Nowhere is there a story about Diana.

But if you look in the bottom left hand corner she is mentioned

Just while we're on with panic and scaremongering, here's a scenario. A group of people, for arguments sake, a group who have a grudge with western governments would it be possible for 20 or so of them to fly to west africa, visit the areas of outbreak, deliberatly infect themselves and as the incubation period is 8/12 days fly back to a western country and wander around densely populated areas? Is that possible? Watching the news this morning and all the stories seem to say we won't be at risk the same as under developed countries because of our health care system. Before proclaiming we have two beds available at the London Free Hospital... I can sleep easier knowing that
Right just off to pick up my daily Mail.. I may be some time

Don't be ridiculous IS have a hoard of giant infectious spiders drifting in a container ship off the coast of Scotland, waiting to be towed in, they can also control the weather, I think they d never ever have considered such a childish plot... well at least up until you suggested it.... :oops:

2 extra beds are plenty, all the other patients will be in Ambulances queuing for ED

Just checking as it's an hour since anyone posted on this thread., but is there anyone left alive out there.

I've barricaded myself in doors with 50 catering packs of baked beans and 4 crates of lager and I'm sitting it out. Can someone let me know when it's safe to come out.

From watching the news last night seems there starting to panic/finally realizing how serious it might become.

At least the 70% death rate would make roads less busy for cycling if you are one of the survivors. :roll:

VTech

The world is a small place, this makes transfer of these types of virus much easier, especially in conditions aircraft where germs etc are spread amongst all passengers in minutes.
How many times have you flown and felt ill or drawn afterwards ?

Its easy to joke about such matters but its that kind of action that causes the spread to become much wider as people do not tend to take these threats seriously.

Having said that, as an average person, what can you do to stop it ?

Do leave your window open a crack, or at least don't smoke.

Have just returned from Lidl to stock up on tinned food and bottles of water. Shelves are nearly empty. Not seen panick buying like this in my near 50 years. It really could be end of days. My neighbour seemed quite sweaty and the blood trickling from his ears and eyes was a dead give away, so have called the emergency services. I reckon that by next May we could be doomed..................... Bugger! Meant to post this under a new heading of UKIPs first MP.

Won't be too long until they start screening"28 Days Later" as a government information film

I love the bit just above the headlines, really good job of satirising the Daily Mail hypocrisy on that sort of thing! Thought Diana was the Express usually?
