If that's the best place for their treatment lets hope it happens ASAP.

Got the news on. Looks like she's just arrived, hope she gets better.

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

Although at times when everything goes wrong you'd be forgiven for wondering we are not a third world nation, we are an advanced nation that can handle far more infectious diseases than Ebola.

Be assured that the precautions that have been taken are way in excess of what Ebola's infectiousness merits and the chances of the patient infecting anyone in London are vanishingly small.

The good aid people that are working in the infected countries should be in quarantine for three weeks before flying back to their native countries!

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

Too true, and on their return too. It sounds harsh, but so would a major outbreak. The NHS can't even cope with a bit of Winter-vomiting bug or a rise in the number of cases of 'flu.

Moving that sick nurse from Scotland to England because Scotland does not have the "facilities" is a big warning to us too!

Send that dumb bitch, Katie Hopkins to look after them.

This is very bad and sad news.

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

How did she contract the virus with all that protective gear on and cleaning protocols in place. Hope she makes a recovery.

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

Some good news for a change.

Great news! :tu:

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

Go medical team :tu:

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

Pleased for the family, but if she chooses to go back to Sierra Leone and contracts it again, I hope the NHS refuses to treat her.

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

She can't catch it again, at least for a while. Her body will be carrying antibodies to the strain she survived hence she'll kick it in the hindmost before it can do anything to her.

A different strain is a different matter but this outbreak she should be all good.

EDIT: Actually her blood could be used as a potential treatment - she received plasma from a survivor of the strain which contained his antibodies.

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

Looks like she has made a full recovery Arthur, with no impact on you and London.

Anything to say? No, I thought not.

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
 

So, do you feel the same way about our Armed Forces personnel who are over there at the moment - if they contract it, should the NHS refuse to treat them?
