Guest Sir N Soames Posted June 27, 2014 Way worse than bird flu. The type of problem that can kill a million people before the end of the year. And if it is really is out of control, then we are all the walking dead. Yes, that's right. I have it on good authority that if there is ever a case of Ebola in the UK, the army will instantly set up a 20 mile exclusion zone and shoot every man, woman and child within that zone as a precautionary measure.

I can see that now........... "PRIVATE SEAR, WHY AREN'T YOU FIRING AT THAT MAN?"

Ditto 17th June - 337 deaths. 23rd July - 672 deaths. That's doubled in the space of the month. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-27953155 As the virus kills the very doctors that are treating the sick then the spread will be advanced by those who are infected without knowing that they are ill. That monthly doubling of cases it's self could double. So a four fold increase in deaths month on month will produce a 100% world wide touch within the next 12 months. Because of the lack of a cure only early treatment will help those contracting the virus. Because of a possible pandemic the healthcare infrastructure will not be able to cope and the fatality rate may well rise to the 90% rate. So, 7 billion people alive now, maybe only 700 million alive this time next year... Action plan. 1. Other than getting doctors on the ground in these 3 countries, stop flying people in, out and around all of west Africa now. 2. Within the week, fly in many thousands of UN mandated troops to man checkpoints. 3. These troops must turn back all those people who wish to leave, if they don't turn back the troops should be instructed to shoot. 4. Provide the best care possible now, and drop food aid only by air. 5. Lock down like this till it is eradicated, even if it takes a few years. The WHO said they had lost control of it last month. In another months time, without these actions, a thousand new cases will be happening in Mali, Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted July 30, 2014 The next few weeks will be "interesting" - was it confined to the hospital or will other people in Lagos start coming down with it? Also, that man was on a plane and they haven't tracked down the other passengers yet, who could be anywhere: "The airline he flew with has yet to provide a passenger list for the flights he used."

Rotten Ali 600 Posted July 30, 2014 Cobra meeting today about Ebola. Philip Hammond saying all measures that are appropriate and considerate will be looked at. That's considered... Strong facts, modelled foresight, screw that! They will be pissing in the wind on this one no fear, with an almost blank sheet of paper saying that it's not in the UK and readiness is high. Real action is required. We will get no real action because they can't see the big picture. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
