Headlines like this drive me nuts. She has Ebola-like symptoms so they should wait before they spread the panic button.

"This could be bad."
It's bad, but it kills people so quickly there is not an opportunity for them to infect many others. Obviously ALL the people on the plane should be under immediate quarantine. It wouldn't have to be for very long. And they could all be permitted to drink heavily, as the other poster wisely recommends, because that's what I'd be doing.

Not as bad as Marburg. :)
*Siiiigh* :(
If anyone wants me I'll be in my hermetically sealed "survival tank" taking intrevenous antibiotics.

--Another site (which doesn't want to be referenced) has had posters contact the hospital where the woman was admitted (Hillingdon). The hospitals' press officer said it is true a woman was brought in and died, but the possibility of Ebola has been discounted (I would assume this would include other haemorrhagic fevers as well). The hospital is open for business as usual. Family of the victim and crew are being interviewed by the Health Protection Agency. Good news if it's NOT Ebola...

IIRC they have demonstrated a successful Ebola vaccine in a mouse model. Hopefully it will pan out in primate testing so we can be less terrified by these viruses.
To: Shion
I heard the Russians had that (Marburg) weaponized and loaded in some ICBMS pointed at us during the Cold War.
Anybody know anything further on that?

That is an easy read, but good read. My 13 year old read it it two days. My entire clinic staff of 90 read it and some had trouble sleeping for a day or two.
I am currently reading "The Great Influenza" and it does seem to be dragging.

***How is then, that whole villages die off in Africa from it?***
You answered your own question. It won't become pandemic because it burns itself out way too quickly. Too many people die in to short a peiod of time for it to spread around the globe.

Or better yet, they are working.
On planes & flights going all over the globe. Serving coffee, tea, soda, peanuts...helping you with your luggage in the overhead compartments.

Why should they ban flights? We have millions of Illegals coming across the border all in perfect health!

Clancy used ebola in one of his books, although it was planted by a terrorist. Something else is going on at the same time, although I forget whether it's Denver being nuked, the government being suicide-planed, war with Japan, or what exactly. They're all starting to jumble together in my head.
