Who said anything about Fox News/Murdoch?
I did.
[QUOTE=āTheUlteriorMotive, post: 991751, member: 2272ā]Risk with these viruses seems to be minimal because they kill the host so quickly and they are not airborne
so it isnāt passed on that easily and if you use reasonable measures it can be contained.
You can kill the ebola virus with soap - hygiene in these countries is probably not great - syringes not disposed of but reused in hospitals. Unless you are caring for somebody with the disease chances of catching it are slim to none
Captures the imagination as it is a zombie-esque story and if you do catch it the manner of death seems horrific.
Of course the risk is it mutates, becomes airborne and kills slower and then we do have a problemā¦[/QUOTE]
The whole thing reminds me of the hype that surrounded piggy-flu and SARS. About a million people die from malaria every year, most of them in Africa, and yet weāre supposed to start panicking when 600 people die from Ebola.

Quality.
On fire, kp.
Ah, I suspect they were worried about their own. I doubt they called a meeting out of concern for what may happen in Helsinki. The threat of Ebola is minimal as it is not easily spread. Mutation is unlikely apparently in the foreseeable future. I would say they are more worried about the tabloids whipping up a frenzy. Also Cameron just has to announce a cobra meeting, and the same kind of tabloid fodder who would be whipped into a frenzy by a headline in the star believe he has taken the necessary steps to protect them all. PR.

hon the Americans, they have some health system there, they should not be letting any cunt from Africa into the EU at the moment, spreading their horrid diseases around the place, backward cunts should be left at it

This is clearly more mind games from Jim McGuinness, planting the story in the press to mess with Dublinās heads.

It must be noted this is a much weaker strain of Ebola than has been encountered before the kill rate is only 50-60% rather than the regular 90% seen before.

Makes it worse from a contagion point of view though, it normally kills itself off.
Iād imagine that 50-60 would fall significantly in a decent health system. although ours would likely fall apart

Yea they reckon the 90% figure would significantly fall if you contracted it in a first world country. The 2 Americans who survived were given an experimental drug while in Liberia they were the first 2 human patients to be administered the drug.

Apparently it originated in bats.
Fruit bats, the murderous cunts.
yeah, started in bats, then mutated in their system, then it spread to monkeys and the dirty bastards were ateing them out there, thats how it got into humans
Hurling spuds to ducks is certainly the way forward, mate.
