1) Nurse 'infected with Ebola' in Spain
Spanish nurse who treated Ebola victim in Madrid clinic "tests positive" for the virus has passed it on to 3 more in Spain including her husband. Madrid's regional government says it's going to kill the pet dog of a Spanish woman who became infected with Ebola. Authorities said in a statement Tuesday that available scientific knowledge indicates there's a risk the dog could transmit the deadly virus to humans.
2) Texas USA: Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan remains in critical but stable condition at a Texas hospital,
3) Now an Infected Norwegian citizen has landed in Oslo.
It's actually petrifying when you think about it :shocked:
1) You can get Ebola if someone touches you.
2) You won't realise you have Ebola until it's too late. The early symptoms are like any typical illness, such as the flu or a cough.
3) There's no cure or vaccine, the only hope is that if you diagnose yourself after a day or 2, you may have a chance of surviving
4) 90% of those who do get it, die
It's like something out of a horror film. At least with that swine flu, you could wear a mask and be on your way. Like I said, someone merely touching you is enough
If it makes it to Europe we're all fu<ked, :undecided: aren't we?
-
90% of these who get it in 3rd world country will die...
The death rate over here will be significantly lower.
-
Not game over yet, just media fear mongering as per the norm.

This.
(For now)
You can catch Flu and many things just by touching, nothing new........
I think we will see immigration controls off the back of this though, an easy way to slip it in when folk are scared and less likely to care about being pc or putting up a united front.....

I enjoy the annual killer fad illness. It keeps muppets who read the daily mail inside for a few months until it inevitably all blows over.
Bird Flu anyone?
Chicken was a bargain back then.

In all seriousness, at what point would you push the button and get supplies from a shop?
Chances are, by the time you realise that is time to move for supplies, it's too late as every other Daily Mail reader has thought the same.

... This isnt a Zombie apocalypse! If I wanted to go and get supplies, I would wander down to the shop, buy what I want and walk back home. Thankfully the shops get replenished every day, so the daily mail readers buying things does not affect me.

There's a stereotype about readers of all British national newspapers and you've got that wrong -
The Sun reader, mainly from the east of England, wolf whistling builder / White Van driver, lunch at the pub;
The Star reader, mainly northerners, mentally subnormal, oversexed neathanderal, eat out at fast food outlets, mainly Sundays. Always skint.
The Guardian reader is a Socialist bearded tree hugging hippy
The Telegraph reader posh tory who will fu<k you partner behind your back.
The Daily Mail reader late middle age, south & middle England, middle class. Saving accounts for all the family. Kids at uni, wife has never worked, shop at Marks & Spencer, eat at restaurants, scandalised by homosexuality and children outside marriage - oh and immigration. Daily Mail readers wouldn't know what a gyro was :kiss:

Times

Please advise on the above

Independent
Times
Metro.
Please advise on the above
The Independent:
Read by indecisive people who can't decide between Ed and David Milliband.
The Times:
Read by people who have achieved level of education to elevate them above The Sun readers, but not quite reached a level to propel them into the ranks of The Daily Telegraph. They aspire to be Telegraph readers because they travel First Class on the train and have the elbow room to read a broadsheet.
Metro:
Read by people who ride the bus.
-
I buy the Times for my Cat, it fits his litter tray perfectly.
He does not like the Tabloids but is partial to a copy of the Metro once I have removed the staples.
Most of the time its the Croydon Guardian, I'm sure he checks the adds section.

Someone has been reading The Mirror :rolleyes:
The chances of dying from Ebola are 25-90%, so effectively 50/50. There's a 50% chance it will make it to the UK. The World health Organisation aren't conducting screening for people coming in or out of the country because they don't yet consider the threat high enough.
-
The Independent:

Nonono, it's read by people who HAVE decided, and don't need a newspaper to tell them who to support.
I read the FT :cool: fantastic bed time reading, sends you to sleep in a blink.
Edit: To the above who posted as I was typing. Pretty sure they are starting to screen people flying in from affected countries...
-
UK airport screening is go according to the news this evening.

And o course the people that love to stereotype and pigeon hole cross sections of the country by what they read, don't read newspapers at all... well how could they!

I only read the free newspaper that comes through my letterbox once a week, 99% good news and not one word on ebola. The problem with the media is that they have no legal obligation to print truth, so the generally blow everything way out of proportion in the hope that the shock tactics gets your attention.

US Airways flight, man sneezed ''sorry, I just came from Africa''.
EBOLA SCARE ON US FIGHT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJhWVsx1U8c&feature=youtu.be&t=1m40s)
Good job it was just some clown being a fool, the CDC blue-suits seem completely inept throughout the clip
When the blue-suits escort him off listen for "I aint from Africa, sheeeit" :lol:
