The case of the Spanish nurse contracting Ebola from a Spanish patient flown into Spain from West Africa and going onto infect others as patient zero for the outbreak with more than 50 being monitored, illustrates the myth of competency that surrounds the western public sector health services in that at least for 1/3rd of the time the public health services only tend to go through the motions of providing a health service which whilst most of the time the consequences for lack of consistency in competency is only to the detriment of the patient, however Ebola is completely unforgiving where any lack of competency can result in a disastrous outcome as Spain is realising today that there is a huge gap between what it's health service states it can do and what it actually delivers.
Whilst today's focus is how Spain's public health service have so spectacularly failed with just 1 Ebola patient for which the authorities had ample time to prepare for. Instead Britain’s NHS is arguable in far worse state of readiness for the public sector lack of competency disease is far more prevalent in the UK that manifests itself in DELAYS in diagnoses and treatment that can not just run in the days but months!
EBOLA IN the UK - How the Pandemic Will Happen
The UK is primed for an Ebola pandemic due to inherent culture of putting patients second, for which the likes of Ebola will be very unforgiving as where Ebola is concerned time is of the essence for this highly infectious virus due to the 12 days or so that the patient is infectious upto the point of death and remains infectious even after death.

The upside of a global pandemic is that the UN Agenda 21/NWO swells who want to reduce the population of Earth to 500,000,000 will have an equal opportunity of being eliminated, unlike the plans they have for the rest of us.
Stopping the spread means stopping the contact with bodily fluids. Unlike flu, airborne contagion does not occur and so asbestos abatement style isolation isn’t required.
Which is EXACTLY what Obamacare is, as well .
Dunno about, that. I don’t think anyone can say with certainty how it is or is not transmitted at this point.
I saw someone say that a person actually has to ingest contaminated fluid in order to contract it. Doesn’t seem too likely.
The only thing that is clear to me at this time is that people don’t seem to know much about anything at all.
> whilst most of the time the consequences for lack of consistency in competency is only to the detriment of the patient...
That’s always been my impression.
Well that will stop Ebola in its tracks. Red striped boundary tape and a movable curtain wall. They could have just put up a sign stating, Ebola stop.
Quite queer that for something that kills, there is so much incomplete data. If this were rabies, scientists would be right on top of it.
“Hospital Referrals - It could take as long as 3 months to be referred to a specialist, many times the critical time period of 12 days that the virus can take to KILL the patient let alone infect many others. Especially as the NHS wants patients to first do the appointment dance i.e. GP refers, patient waits for a letter with password to log onto the NHS website to make an appointment, no appointments available so the patient has to go back to their GP, the result a month wasted.”
“Therefore don’t believe state NHS propaganda of the UK being ready and able to cope with Ebola patients for the NHS culture of inconsistency ensures that the NHS WILL FAIL even more spectacularly than the Spanish health service has.”
Wow!
We have been assured that Ebola is magically less lethal once outside of africa, so there is no cause for concern or need to take precaution!

Ping.
Yes, it is.
I also find it queer that there are not endless media programs informing us on all we need to know and all we don’t need to know on this subject.
What I have learned form this is that we cannot trust our government to protect us from true threats at all. We can count on them to lie to us about true threats, thus it serves no purpose at all, and is in fact quite dangerous.
Nope. They’ll have access to the antiviral meds that have been shown to stop ebola if given soon enough.
You and I on the other hand...
The swells will be at each others' throats for it.
