Well at long last we are sending a decent effort to help contain Ebola in Africa. Here is hoping it isn't too late.

Anyone else feel that Western countries don't really seem geared up to the threat?

How long before some militant gets the idea that they could become a suicide carrier/donor? I bet that was also discussed at today's Cobra mtg.

I think if it grows and becomes a full blown pandemic the human race is going to shrink an awful lot..

Not necessarily a bad thing

No, and it is a fact that it is overdue

Nature culls by way of war and plague and since WW2 we have not had a massive loss of human life. In fact in the 21st century we have suffered little, thank God, but the twentieth century started like that. Then there was the Great War that cost 10 million lives; the flue pandemic of 1918 killed 18 million, then WW2 took away 56 million. To control our rising to 7 billion World population something will happen.

Just pray to your God that it does not effect you or your family

Yep, the Food, Water, Oil, Gas & Coal will be available for longer for the survivors, never mind the reduction in climate change

Now there's a conspiracy for you

Miss Vamps has the solution, to save the uk at least, she feels we should simply close the boarders, no one in and no one out..........

Sounds a good idea but the Uk would grind to a halt and plunge into a deep recession.

If the out break is as bad as the Black Death of 1348 and it's final sting in 1370, recession will be the last of our problems. 

In fact a total lock down around the UK / West Africa could be an answer. Everything necessary may have to be done to protect us here; "by any means" comes to mind, especially when it comes to illegal and legal visitors from Africa. But hopefully we will never get to that point. Heaven help us if we have to!!

I wish they'd change the name of it. Sounds like a football player name

My idea is that if you are travelling from or have been too a known ebola infected area, before even getting on the flight or ferry you need to show certified isolation for 21 days and a recent clear test for ebola (that now includes the US and Spain  )

That would sort the "wheat from the chaff"

With today's technology you dont have to be here to conduct business

Waited far far far too long to deal with this.

Only now they are sending a Hospital ship to the region. While the virus itself knocks on the door, trying to get in.

This started in February.

Deputy Sheriff in texas suspected of ebola infection

Agree with you Chris
We should have resticted travel too and from the infected parts 6 months ago along with temperature / heath checks at the point of entry and 'dangle berries' to the queues.
I agree that its a fine line between vigalance and over reaction but imo, it about time some nations grew a pair of gonads

The site canteen was talking about how to control world population and also deal with this new plague.

Nuke Africa..wipes out the ebola and saves the millions suffering from No water and No food (doesn't stop them breeding like rabbits mind..?) and would save the millions of pounds spent on the begging adverts on TV.

I did think it was a bit harsh...but having thought on it.....
