That's about a mile and a half from my present position.

But alas it was not to be. And there was I, hopeful it was going to take out the local douche bag estate.

One doesn't usually die the same day the symptoms start.....She could have thrown a thrombo, had a CVA or MI, or she died from her cancer..

[klauskunkel]

The UAE Health Ministry says the passengers from the same flight are out of risk.

How on earth do they know that? The woman arrived and died the same day. The other passengers disembarked and maybe got onto other flights and left. So, how can the UAE Health Ministry determine that the other passengers are risk-free?

Don't expect any truth what really happened and what is the risk we are involved ...

It would be panic world wide.

Remember some movies ???...

who needs a time to run and survive .....and who will be left to die ?

The truth can not be said under any conditions.

It will be flue or something else...only you will know or not what you have....

You suggest that people who stay in a country where Ebola has been detected, should be prohibited from traveling home or elsewhere in the world ?

At some point - not now - there may have to be a kind of quarantine for travellers from high risk countries *before* boarding a plane. Although the transmission of ebola is through body fluids only (so it is believed), further outbreaks will eventually mandate that.

Personally I believe that ebola will come to Europe on a ship with a few hundred refugees, most of them infected by Poor hygiene on board, and will immediately spread in holding camps. So Italy to be hit first in this scenario.

I just hope this virus does not get used as a weapon. Imagine somebody getting access to blood samples, body fluids from live or dead victims. Contamination of food and water supplies? This was done during the dark ages/medieval ages when party parts were catapulted over castle walls, and put in water supplies.

Congratulations, you've just given Boko Harum a new plan.

It's very dangerous virus and I doubt that it would be easy to handle. If some of the groups were to give it a try, I have a feeling they would end up reducing their own numbers significantly.

Not dealing with the best and the brightest, they also have suicidal tendancies.
