So very very very low percentage of catching this disease 100/6000 000 000 but if you are one of the 0.00000016% of the population to catch it there is a 70% chance you will die.

Is it 2012 again?
Apparently Ebola thinks so.
Until it spreads here, I'll get on with my life without any worry. In fact, I wouldn't worry regardless.
Edit: WHY BUMP THIS.... No seriously, what goes through your head when you bump a thread as old as this? Are you even aware?
Ban him please. Right now. I don't want to see this guy ever again.

Wowzer not even a Daily Mail news source to bash..!
The death rate for Ebola is scary, and the symptoms are, frankly terryfying.
But it kills to quickly to spread.
Because it has been in the news yesterday and this morning. A new thread would be silly.

Try it out for size, no big deal, nothing. W.H.O. is worried!
Little own bubble?
Tell it someone who has it or seen it up close or affected by it.
But hey no! yeah?

To be fair the WHO scare monger everything, like classifying a few cases of swine flu as a level 6 pandemic, their agenda is not as good and noble as it may first appear. And given your multiposting spam of tb links, your agenda appears to be similar.
Fair enough! He could have at least linked to an article though, for those of us who happened to miss the news.

Why once again is the UK government putting its head in the sand? We should be stopping all entry into the UK from Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and the Ivory Coast. Saudi Arabia has already reacted to a potential influx of pilgrims by stopping all Visa issues to these and surrounding countries. Ebola has, (very fortunately), previously been contained in small pockets of fairly inaccessible regions, and a single case in a small city. It is now in Conakry, a rambling coastal city of around 2 million people. This outbreak in such a densely populated and quite affluent area is unprecedented. Movement of people into and out of the city is on a totally different scale to that to and from jungle regions. I am not one to be easily worried by sensationalist news of disease outbreaks, but the LACK of coverage has me wondering just what the hell is going on to make positive moves to protect our borders from travelers from these regions? Until this is quashed we should be banning all people movement to and from these places, as well as imports of foodstuffs and other suspect carriers. It may already be too late, there is possibly already European movement, Spain, France and the Channel Tunnel are a favourite destinations for many from these places, but all efforts should be made BEFORE a carrier is known to be outside of Africa. If it does come here you can be sure the government will procrastinate and fiddle about, having Cobra meetings and kow towing to the European Court of Human Rights, blah blah. I shudder to think how the NHS will react, the mind boggles over that one...
And the headline news on BBC at 1.00 PM. "Health Warning"........Ah, right, this Ebola outbreak....
But no, far more worrying!!!
Air pollution due to smog in he UK.....
Jeez, I remember the proper smogs of the 1950's and 60's. I had to hang a torch out of my father's car passenger window and tell him how far off the kerb we were coming out of Manchester on the main A34. Smokeless zones and the end of much UK manufacturing cleared those up. They know how to prioritize things. A few exhaust fumes, the like China and India would consider a breath of fresh air, and it's ignore Ebola, all get you inhalers out and hope to make it until tomorrow.
It may not be spread by airborne droplets, but it certainly can spread, and spread quickly given say an illegal immigrant afraid or not knowing how to seek medical attention and living an underworld existence in close proximity to others in a major UK conurbation.
