If that's the best place for their treatment lets hope it happens ASAP.
edit from the bbc new link
"The woman will be transferred to specialist high level isolation in London as soon as possible."

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.

Re: UK Ebola Cases Expected In Next Three Months
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!

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!

A British nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola after returning from Sierra Leone is now in a critical condition, the London hospital treating her has said.
The Royal Free Hospital said it was "sorry to announce that the condition of Pauline Cafferkey has gradually deteriorated over the past two days".

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.
Quote:
UK nurse Pauline Cafferkey has said she is "very happy to be alive", having been discharged from hospital after making a full recovery from Ebola.
Speaking to the BBC in her first broadcast interview, Ms Cafferkey, 39, admitted she had felt like "giving up" as her condition became critical.
She said she was now looking forward to returning to "normal life" and had no current plans to return to West Africa.

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.

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.

Looks like she has made a full recovery Arthur, with no impact on you and London.
Anything to say? No, I thought not.

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?
