A Nigerian woman with cancer who died in the Emirati capital had shown signs “that may be consistent with Ebola,” the Health Authority of Abu Dhabi said on Sunday.
The 35-year-old woman was travelling to India from Nigeria via Abu Dhabi to seek treatment for advanced cancer when her health deteriorated during her time in transit at Abu Dhabi’s airport, the authority said in a statement according to the state WAM news agency.
“It was noted at the time of resuscitation that she had shown signs that may be consistent with Ebola virus infection, although her existing medical condition provided an adequate medical explanation,” WAM quoted the statement as saying.

BS... Stop those damn flights, NOW.
You can catch it from touching the sweat of an infected person. If she coughs and the droplets will hang in the air for hours.

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...
Yes it would, but regrettably setting up massive crematoriums would be arduous and would cause even more hysterics in part of the locals (natives).
Thank God she did not make it to India; imagine even one outbreak would cause mass chaos.
Yes but it takes a lot of fuel to properly burn a body. The fire has to be 1400 degrees.
Thank God she did not make it to India; imagine even one outbreak would cause mass chaos.
But, what if her sweat did? You can catch it from sweat. I always wonder about the poor, unsuspecting chap who gets seated in the aircraft seat the Ebola victim was just in :(
May have been?
Did she bleed from every possible orifice? Did her colon slough off and exit? Does her liver look like a big bowl of jelly?
From what I’ve read the signs are pretty clear by the time you are dead.
Give it time; I hope to God that He is merciful to spare the rest of the world this misery.
Some religions do not allow for cremations.
I know, I know...at some point MY survival outweighs their beliefs. Of course by that time they will just be leaving them in the streets.
I wonder how bad this could get if that plan had a couple of hundred Muslims going on Hadj?
Lots of them fly through Abu Dhabi
This strain of Ebola is acting a little differently. It is not always so obvious. Sometimes there is bleeding from the mouth, nose, ears, or eyes, but not always. This makes it very difficult to recognize, which makes it more likely that a false negative will slip by somewhere.
!
hmm..Ebola virus; in Mecca and Medina, the religion of death meet your death...now fitting.
Thanks for the ping!
