GTR-N1 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Ebola virus has crossed into Nigeria, in fact Lagos. Borders of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea are already at risk of closing down. Bit hard to say without being alarmist if infected persons would try to make it out by plane. They'd get sick quick at the airport most likely > organ failure.

GTR-N1 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 The infected person would already be dead after such a long trip to Oz without treatment, but can you imagine a quarantined plane at a far corner of an airport? Some passengers will probably disobey orders and set off exit chutes after seeing blood coming out of an Ebola infected person's ears/nose/bowels/mouth!!! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/370610-virus-bacterium-fungus-parasite/page/3/#findComment-7355744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTR-N1 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks Grimesy. Looks like this is one disaster area that Presidents and PMs don't visit. I wonder how many plagues or serious diseases have emanated from rodents (albeit that bats are flying rodents) > black plague, hendra, ebola....???

Birds Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I hope the irony in my post was better received than Ebola itself... Ebola is habitually and demographically selective...there's no way the wealthy and white will catch it... Maybe some fake westerner cases tipped off to the western media would light a fire under the bums of our healthcare watchdogs...

GTR-N1 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 The common denominator is that Ebola can't become a pandemic unless it mutates into an airborne strain. It does need to be contained though lest it merges with say a H1N1 flu virus. I personally don't want to contemplate that one ay?
