Workers said they were terrified the virus could spread globally through the busy international hub from the West African country which is in the grip of the deadly epidemic.

The woman, said to be 72, became ill on the gangway after she left a Gambia Bird jet with 128 passengers on board. She died in hospital.

I kinda doubt she has Ebola but she was in awful shape and should never have been flying.

Ebola? We will soon know

“Phillippines reports possible Ebola cases”

Let’s hope the little old lady at Gatwick just had a heart attack. Symptoms of that can include vomiting and sweating.

Gatwick Airport from West Africa has tested negative for #Ebola virus

And the government, even the Brits, would NEVER lie.

Explain to me why planes are still flying from Sierra Leone to Europe?

Who knows? If they stop, maybe they are afraid of being called racists. They don't mind thousands of people possibly getting killed, as long as the R word is not bandied about.

And remember how they decided to “contain” the outbreak near the medical center—before the “wonder boy” was found.
