I hope the 91 medics from 22 Field Hospital in Aldershot have to go into quarantine when they come back for a month to make sure they aren't bringing their work home with them after their tour.
Of course, it's not like Zombies will be able to get a mortgage.

Video found on.... eurgh... Daily Fail, I mean Mail, website.
They're saying only transferable via bodily fluids ? Then how on earth did two nurses, dressed up to the eyeballs in hazmat suits get infected ? There's something they're not telling us. I do not think that these nurses snogged or jumped on Duncan in his state !
This is what is troubling me ! OK so they're saying they didn't remove their hazmat suits correctly.... So the virus is easily transferable or isn't ? Cos going thru a decontamination shower then taking off your kit, would tell me, that you've taken good enough precautions.

Quite.
Anyone else thinking "G-man" from HL2?
How will they 'ever' contain it? Unless they find a vaccination, then we're all brown bread !
So far the governments are not taking it serious enough. Flights still coming in from West Africa???? WTF. Its only a matter of time before its knocking on our doors.. Unless they find a vaccine pronto, then its going to wipe out 50-70% of the population. In the meantime cause a global meltdown.
They're simply not going to be able to 'contain' it, by treating the sick. It seems the only hope is a vaccine. Which they just haven't got yet.

The government will never tell the truth. Imagine the panic if they said that its easily transmitted.
I'm pinning all my hopes on ZMapp, which is currently in limited supply and apparently the ones that are available have already been reserved (To the highest bidder no doubt).
Jeez, welcome to page 4. It's exceedingly easy to transfer through bodily fluids.
Sick on an item of clothing, removed quickly, holding someone's hair back when being sick, etc.
That person then rubs their eye or whatever....bang

I think as soon as there's an outbreak of more than a few in a particular town, then panic will set in. Would you go out shopping or anywhere in public if you knew that theres 100 infected people possibly infecting thousands more out in your neighborhood ? People will not show for work in fear that they'll get it.. They can't contain more than a few cases, there's simply not enough resources. Without a vaccine, a lot of suffering is to come !
To what end? If we're so terribly bad at containing literally 1 or 2 infected people, then we stand no chance of containing a wider outbreak, if indeed it does occur.
Odds on 'clipboard man' copping for a dose of Ebola within a fortnight? I wouldn't bet against it!
They weren't.
Ebola is not very contagious, but is extremely infectious. For the best data we have on this strain, read the paper I linked to above.
Has anyone blamed the Muslims yet? Because I'll be quite happy to do it if nobody else has.
I'll give it a go...
I hereby officially blame the Muslims for the current Ebola crisis.
If you would like to second my motion then I'm sure we can consider my statement ratified and legally binding

Not this time, this time the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of the primitive African tribes that are mentally stuck in the Dark Ages.
Breaking into quarantined hospitals and releasing Ebola patients, killing dozens of doctors and burying them in a holes that are used as toilets. These are people that still believe in Voodoo for Christs sake
