Ebola outbreak: Royal Air Force 'on standby' to bring back infected Brits
The Telegraph ^ | 7-30-14 | Sarah Knapton

The Royal Air Force could be called in to bring back UK citizens infected with the deadly Ebola disease from West Africa. David Cameron has said that Ebola outbreak is a ‘very serious threat’ to the UK and the foreign secretary, Philip Hammond, is preparing to chair an emergency meeting today on how to tighten Britain’s defences against the virus. Major Thomas Fletcher, of the Royal Army Medical Corps said it was likely the meeting would discuss putting the military on alert to ‘repatriate’ Britons infected with the disease. The Royal Air Force’s Infection Prevention Control Team is likely to be placed on standby to collect UK citizens and return them to Britain in quarantine conditions.

Indeed, most viruses can be passed through kidneys, except skin born types.

If it’s 100% curable, I wouldn’t think that knowledgeable doctors and nurses who have access to that care would be dying.

Quarantine. You drop the medical supplies on the airstrip and leave. If someone goes into the area they don’t come out until the epidemic is certified over. But no, we will have the idiots at the CDC (same geniuses that store vials of deadly diseases in closets) or British National Health (who routinely kill their patients) having people leave the quarantined area after a “visual inspection and questioning”.

A ripe ebola environment.....Just keep it out of the light! AND give it moisture!

Yes, in summary, as you point out, we could be targets under a shit and ebola attack!

I’m moving further north where stuff can freeze!

The Eboli virus is 100% curable. One needs only ENORMOUS about of IV solution quickly, uniformly and continuously.

What about drinking nothing but water infused with oregano oil for one week?

Word of bringing patient(s) “home” to USA too.

Why are first-world countries hell-bent on bringing a nightmare disease home? One screwup and it’s a pandemic.

So Cameron is a real fool. I feel bad for the Brits being put in danger by this national leader’s idiocy.

This would cause the symptomatic individual to hemorrhage blood and water infused with oregano oil for somewhat less than one week, at which time they would die.

you know they have the passenger lists of the planes Patrick Sawyer was on as well as the connecting flights they took to cities all over the world.

Yes, of course they do. I suspect they know it's already been spread around the world 3 times over so might as well bring US and British citizens home for better care.

Then there’s the babies with poopy diapers sitting in the seats of grocery carts where most people put their fresh produce.

There is a shortage of iv solution in this country right now as it is. Something about FDA standards and costs for compiancy.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Why oh why?

This makes no sense. An outbreak of Ebola, even a modest one, would overload just about every hospital system in a Western country.
