marshman 7,757 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Apparently in Spain it's gone from one person to they're keeping there eye on 84 people , that's in one week ! ?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tandors 888 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The nurse in spain is apparently deteriorating now aswell, only a matter of time before there are cases in britain, there is so much disinformation being spread, something doesn't seem quite right with it. The official deaths in africa where they say it is out of control is less than 4000, either that is a massive under estimate or they are lying in my opinion, there are over 40 commercial flights from africa every week, thousands and thousands of potential carriers coming in, that they won't stop.

NEWKID 27,143 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 You would think being on this little isolated island we would be safe as houses... But with open borders and a help the world mind set unfortunately not.. I truly feel sorry for anyone's suffering anywhere, but why put our country at risk as well, I just don't know!!

I've heard that 7 out of 10 cases are not even reported. So that 4'000 is probably closer to 13'500 deaths. Don't forget the villages and the alike that get wiped out. We don't hear about them. Got a friend in the US that said he's heard absolutely nothing about Ebola in the US!!! My email asking how he was and whether he was visiting family or still in Dallas threw him off. Absolutely nothing at all in the news over there. Until I directed him to the Washington Post the other day. It might have been on the website, but it wasn't in the newspaper itself. It wasn't until VERY recently that it appeared on the news at all. Hospitals ‘gearing up’ for unlikely case of UK Ebola outbreak...The Guardian. Ebola 'likely to arrive in UK' as pressure builds on Government to introduce airport screening...The Independent. Anyone think we're being misled by certain newspapers?

Country Joe 1,411 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 They are now saying the three main African countries where outbreak is at its worst need a lot of help, They have not enough doctors, hospitals etc, but these countries have been receiving foreign aid for years, which as quick as it went in, was out again to a Swiss Bank, as corruption has been rife, never appears to change.

Truther 1,579 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The bloke who's died in Dallas is only 42, looks strong/fit, it don't look good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 if this kills off our specialists in the field of dealing with these outbreaks then we will be in a pickle. why send them to Africa when it is most likely they will be needed here. some are estimating this will decimate west and north Africa.

Truther 1,579 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I keep seeing NHS spokes people saying "we have the best health service in the world (yea right) we can cope with an outbreak" well i remember the Spanish flu outbreak 16 years back, i got it myself and ended up with a dose of pneumonia, the doc came out to me and he said i should be in hospital but they didn't have any spare beds, and the doctors were dropping like flies themselves, and we had antibiotics that worked well on that, what's the chances of them coping with ebola with no effective drugs, not to mention the NHS cuts since then, were f****d if it happens imo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tandors 888 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Decimate africa you say? So ebola is the cure then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 It amazes me the flights are still allowed to continue. Surely the first rule of minimising disease spread is to stop potential carriers moving from country to country? Madness. It's also madness sending our troops out there. There is no way they will all stay ebola free and are likely to bring it home. The government sticking their noses in once more is putting us all at risk Send aid by air and let them get on with it.

neil cooney 10,416 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Apparently there's a lot of bush meat sent illegally through the post from Africa to family members in Europe, can that be stopped ? Very worrying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherman 887 13,122 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Spanish nurse touched her face after treating ebola sufferers and its a weak disease which thrives in hotter climates. Anyone whos had it in europe. Macedonia. Usa. Spain ect has been in direct contact with sufferers ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ggib 370 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 If there's no cure, then why are they sending people to help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 If there's no cure, then why are they sending people to help? To try and contain it, we can't brush it under the carpet and forget that it's there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
