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.

The news is saying it's likely to come to Australia

[GTR-N1]

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!!!

Seen this terry, also thought that Ebola has an incubation period of three or so days before the symptoms occur?

[GTR-N1]

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....???

Ebola vaccine on the horizon but...

New cases reported in Republic of Congo and Sweden.

Sydney Uni professor says that in West Africa, Ebola is out of control.

[GTR-N1]

The West is regarded as being too complacent (about Ebola)...

Tell someone who cares, Terry...

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...

But I digress; prevention doesn't pay the pharmacists

[GTR-N1]

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?

[GTR-N1]

Ebola expected to triple in the next 4 weeks.

With all do respect Terry, I'll wait til it reaches my suburb before I worry

[GTR-N1]

Trick or treat next month. I shall send a friend.

[Birds]

I'll have the iodine and leeches ready

[GTR-N1]

You win! You can drop your guard now.
