ebola to skiing accidents, I hope the young F1 driver makes a full recovery form his horrible accident
MI5 have foiled a major terror attack on the UK it has been reported. I wonder what that was, we will never know of course as these terror attacks are top secret and always will be unless the terrorists succeed and then it's too late..
My son's mate has a brother in MI5 or MI6 (can't remember which) and he, as you would expect, never talks about anything he does. But he did tell his brother once that the public don't know a fraction of the successes they have in stopping plots. He says it's frightening. To all those that think Edward Snowden is a hero, well I have some sympathy as I used to be like that too. But I now think the opposite. When you realise that without Internet monitoring thousands of people would have been killed then you have to wonder. The war on terror, just like the war on drugs was probably lost a long time ago as we've all had to forego our privacy for the sake of security.
Actually due to its short incubation period, it is highly unlikely to have the same impact as HIV. HIV has a long incubation period which allows it to develop in the host and breaks down the immune system allowing simple colds and flu to become potentially fatal. Viruses with short incubation periods (2 - 21 days) to be identified earlier and hence treated earlier. Dont let the fact that a vaccine has yet to be developed make you think that this is untreatable. It has an average 50% fatality rate and receiving treatment early increases chances of survival. There are currently 2 potential vaccines undergoing human safety testing. As with most outbreaks of any virus the biggest threat is hysteria and paranoia from the masses with little knowledge of the how what and why's. As for using humans as potential delivery systems for terrorist threats. Due to the very nature of the infectious stage being when the carrier is suffering from severe muscle fatigue and pain, fever, vomiting amongst other symptoms. It would be a very ineffective and crude way of carrying out an attack. There are many other more easier and effective ways of delivery for biological weapons.
It does sound very difficult to transmit. Problem with Ebola is infected victims literally bleed through their skin so any bodily contact could quite easily transfer the disease. A Spanish nurse has apparently contracted Ebola after helping to treat one patient despite wearing a full bio-hazard suit.
Unfortunately it was sub standard clothing she was wearing. Staff have reported that their latex gloves were sellotaped on. Not exactly meeting the requirements needed for impermeable suits!!!
If it was that difficult then why put them in a special bubble and dress up in protected clothing....of course its easy to catch...
Because it's Ebola, not the common cold. It's obviously not that easy to catch or there would be a lot more than a few thousand dead.
first American just died from Ebola after travelling from Liberia where he showed no symptoms when he left the country, went to hospital in the USA after a few days home, they sent him home, back to hospital and died a few days later
More than likely it was taking the suit off , which goes to show you how easy it is to catch . 30 people leaving an elaborate trail , as a secondary phase , as they pick congested areas of people to spread , directly on to people, to finish phase one. Would be to big to figure trails when it was figured out what happened
I'm not quite sure what Monks hero's (Monk's heroes maybe?) is on about. I think he may have a bit of the Ebola.
