Airport staff tonight told of their fears of an Ebola outbreak after a passenger from Sierra Leone collapsed and died as she got off a plane at Gatwick.
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.

The argument used to be that Ebola didn't spread out of Africa because it killed people exposed to it so quickly. Now the media is saying that it's up to 21 days after exposure that one gets sick. Add to that, medical professionals taking extreme precautions (and not just one) have gotten sick. Logically, letting anyone leaving Africa without a 21 day quarantine makes no sense. The disease has changed.
The only logical conclusion is that Ebola has already escaped from Africa, in significant numbers. So the ptb are just goin' with it.
What frightens me is what happens when, not if, Ebola spreads in war torn areas, in refuge camps, and in areas where the Central American hordes will be housed.
For me it is more like the show The Strain

Because the head of CDC believes THIS: "We’re not going to hermetically seal the borders of the US. We’re reliant and interdependent with the world for travel, for trade, for the economy, for our families and communities."
ROFL Yes, but I rather remain crabby
Close our borders?? Now where have I heard this request before?
I’ve been wondering the same thing.
Sweating and vomiting can also be a sign of a heart attack.
What happens if jihadists get voluntarily infected, and are flown right into JFK, and head to the Cony Island beach?
Where they blow themselves up in front of a crowded band stand or wet t-shirt contest.
That would be ugly.
“you probably should take Daily Mirror articles w a grain of salt.”
It’s not just in that paper — it’s being reported elsewhere too — test results are just in, they claim they were negative for ebola.
Ebola test carried out after air passenger death in UK

“The Department for Health said the test on the woman, who landed at Gatwick Airport on Saturday, came back negative on Sunday afternoon.”
Frankly, at this point it is hard to believe anybody — the governments are definitely downplaying the threat — but how did the two US health workers get it, when they were covered head to toe when treating the ebola victims.
Think of it this way. All that stuff is free for the taking! And actually, they deliver it to YOU! Now how’s that for government service. :-)
The way that contact tracing works, they could use a pandemic as an excuse to round up “enemies of the state” and nobody would be the wiser.
In contract tracing, they find and isolate EVERYBODY who was on a given bus, airplane, train car for a given trip, etc.
IOW, masked “medical teams” backed by LEOs will be making stops across America, picking up “people who may have been in contact with” an ebola victim.
What a perfect cover for picking up “Enemies of the State” for a one-way ride to a “special” isolation center, where nobody ever leaves.
With thousands dying in a real pandemic, and tens of thousands rounded up, who will miss a few key “bitter clingers?”
Ummm.
Walking WMDs.
And in a panic, there are no rules. There are no Constitution. There is no Habeas Corpus. This no right to an attorney.
America has been under "soft tyranny" for about a decade - with an exponential increase of the tyrannical side since Obama took over.
I believe it would take very, very little to swing America over to "hard tyranny." Very little.
