Health professionals and staff at the Madrid hospital have already reported that their protective equipment is substandard which does not meet World Health Organisations standards. Prorocols for disposal of waste from the rooms was also not followed. Even after she reported symptoms she had to request to be tested and even then while waiting for the results she was not quarantined. That is the reason why she has contracted the virus. Added to this that the hospital had already closed the dept for infectious illnesses due to underfunding prior to the patient being brought there just shows that this is due to a number of factors including protocols not being followed, inadequate equipment and training (10 minute briefing in some cases) and poor facilities. I think the Spanish government have been caught out and senior health officials are to blame for this for their total lack of preparation to deal with ebola victims. As one health professional has stated: "goggles, mask, gloves and gown with a bit of sticky tape do not an impermaeable suit make!!"
There was a company on TV yesterday blowing their trumpet about their suits that were costing the Government (ie me and you) £25 a pop. They didn't even have integrated gloves and boots! Pathetic.
A person can carry the virus for up to 3 weeks before being detected so it's very easy for people with the virus to slip past the net. they should close all our borders now until a solution has been found......Why take risks as it will be to late when this type of virus takes hold of the general population. More and more cases are popping up all over the planet and for airports to do basic scanning is not nearly enough for something that can lay dormant for up to 3 weeks.....close our borders now before its too late and gets out of hand.......
Now that someone has contracted this on US soil, I fully expect a cure to miraculously appear very soon.
Ebola is very easily transmitted, it spreads in the host very quickly and all fluids are infested including sweat. The virus can be absorbed through human skin and doesn't need to enter any opening or open wound. The virus withholds from destroying any human cells until it has sensed an ambundance of chemicals it gives off meaning there is an incubation period of two days to three weeks before the attack begins, a host will not know that he/she is infected until the virus infestation numbers in the many billions. Ebola is especially difficult to kill because it begins rewriting the DNA inside the human bone marrow so that white blood cells will not recognise it as an intruder, it adds it's own RNA code to that of other organ cells to mass produce meaning all Ebola viruses from a human source are partially human themselves and as such the macrophages grown in the lung generally treat them as an organ instead of an intruder. Only 50% of people will survive an Ebola ingestion, the excessive bleeding is caused by the human body itself which begins to see through the Ebola viruses ruse and then sets it's own white blood cells against any suspected cells acting as an Ebola manufacturing plant. With so many cells hijacked to reproduce the virus the White blood cells destroy the human body beyond repair hence that horrible bloody death, those who do survive are normally pretty messed up. The White blood cells are not believed to be going overkill, scientists now think your body might be committing suicide to prevent further spread. Out of your control human evolution might have created a self destruct button to prevent pandemics amongst the global species. Pretty cool but a horrible way to go, sounds more Sci-Fi than Star Trek. Nature is nasty!
I'd like to see the Liberians come up with a cure. Living in filth and foolish traditions have caused this outbreak. Poverty does not necessarily equal squalor. There was a piece on Sky about this recently and the poor guys that have to pick up the bodies face violence every day and are even ostracised by their own families. A medical team, accompanied by some journalists went out into remote villages and guess what? Got themselves murdered. ****ing animals.
Only because those Pharma CEO's have to go through the same airports as the incoming carriers, if HIV went airborne there'd be a cure for that as well.
Don't let the media whip you up into a storm of fear and panic https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hph...=498d873094512ede9613c0abf172775e&oe=54B98EE5
the world is definitely under attack quietly but surely by fanatics. two unexplained foreign deadly spider nests with hundreds maybe thousands of breeding spiders have already been found in wales. The question is how many more nests are there in the UK...
It's a joke/spoof daily mail cover designed to take the piss out of how the Daily Mail aims to sell copies by convincing us that we're all in imminent danger of something awful, or that we should be really angry about something and they're the only ones who are 'telling us the truth', so we should buy their filthy rag. Whoever made the spoof cover just took some of the things they Mail normally tries to scare us with (Muslims are all fanatics/immigrants are destroying our country/a deadly disease is just around the corner and you're not being told the truth/ the government are secretly taxing us for something/freak weather is coming and you should be scared). Read the two images at the top of the cover (the contrasting '*****phile' and the 'All grown up' images). It's hilarious and really well put together. Read the name of the author at the start of the article "BE AFRAID! BE AFRAID! But buy our paper, it's the only way to keep you safe!"
No ......these are not false widows at all. they have fangs that can give a nasty bite and if that was given to babies or very young or very old people it can be fatal.
come out to spider heaven Dai, redbacks, funnelwebs, whites not to mention the snakes, lovely place to live
