I read up about this disease in the early 90's and here it is now, ready to stare the world in it's eyes..

 

As i posted on a thread somewhere yesterday, was speaking to a scientist at work who said it poses 0% threat to the pedestrians of england, it concerns me not atm?

****ing horrific way to die mind

I honestly dont think anybody here should worry for now

But..............

 

Yeah a big BUT! I was talking to a consultant at hospital on Saturday that said it would be the biggest threat in the next 5 years, it has already spread to 3 countries in the last 6 months or so. We allow all sorts through our borders in the UK and that is why we are so observed by other nations. I needn't say anymore but I bet we have an case of Ebola soon..

 

This is my definition of a hero, not some narcissistic, ego-bound overpaid footballer.

And happy birthday VJ!

 

There has been one today in birmingham mate, we are good at controlling **** here, e-coli was nipped in the bud within weeks.

I get your concern i'm just not scared atm by it, each to there own mind, something like that would do your lollie serious harm, just saying dont beleive the hype i suppose.

The chances of it getting here are minimal to say the most after speaking with proffesor virus yesterday

 

You really think that? I'm a good 20 years older than you mate and I have zero faith in this countries capabilities and have done so for at least the last 40+ years. If there was a profit to be made mind, some ****er would be in there..

I did until i read that, but still think we will swerve it nonetheless

 

Certainly a worry, especially as they have no cure at the moment

 

Signs and symptoms typically begin abruptly within five to 10 days of infection with Ebola or Marburg virus. Early signs and symptoms include:

Fever
Severe headache
Joint and muscle aches
Chills
Weakness
Over time, symptoms become increasingly severe and may include:

Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea (may be bloody)
Red eyes
Raised rash
Chest pain and cough
Stomach pain
Severe weight los
Bleeding, usually from the eyes, and bruising (people near death may bleed from other orifices, such as ears, nose and rectum)

Internal bleeding

 

Been reading up on it this morning, they reckon this may be a new strain, and is capable of going airborne for a short distance.
