Santa was late with your present, Scumple.

No need to panic. Ignore all the hospital staff in space suits, absolutely normal for the time of year.

Ebola healthcare worker being transferred to London unit

A health worker who was diagnosed with Ebola after returning to Scotland from Sierra Leone is being transferred to a specialist treatment centre in London.

The woman, who travelled to Glasgow via Casablanca and London Heathrow, is being taken to the Royal Free Hospital.

She is understand to have been flown to RAF Northolt in a military plane after leaving Glasgow in a convoy.

Passengers on flights she took to the UK are being traced, but officials say the risk to the public is very low.

The woman left Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow just after 03:00 on Tuesday.

Six police cars accompanied two ambulances as she was taken to Glasgow Airport. She will be taken to an isolation unit at the north London hospital from the RAF base in west London.

The health secretary said NHS safety measures in place were working well.

Jeremy Hunt, who chaired an emergency Cobra meeting on Monday evening, said the government was doing "absolutely everything it needs to" to keep the public safe.

It's the beginning of the end!

You're work isn't done here yet, scump..

Perhaps it's only the middle of the end of the beginning...

The end is not yet. I predict it will be slow. Barely noticeable. Until one day the end arrives for you personally unnoticed and unseen. You'll wake up and cough up some blobs, bleeding out of all orifices and realise you have Ebola. The end of the world is always a local matter.
