BREAKING: ANOTHER Briton rushed to hospital after showing signs of Ebola

ANOTHER Briton has been rushed to hospital after showing signs of Ebola.

The patient, from south Gloucestershire is on their way to Great Western Hospital in Swindon.

South West Ambulance Service’s hazardous area response team (HART) is transporting the patient to hospital.

A spokeswoman for the ambulance service said: "We can confirm the hazardous area reponse team is currently transporting a patient into Great Western Hospital.

"That patient has recently returned from West Africa and has made complaints of feeling unwell.

"HART is carrying out all standard procedures to make the patient safe whilst they are transported."

It is understood the patient has recently flown into the UK from South Africa after previously spending time in Ebola stricken Sierra Leone, the Swindon Advertiser reports.

The patient would be the second to be diagnosed with the deadly virus in Britain.

Pauline Cafferkey, a Scottish public health nurse who had been volunteering in the stricken Sierra Leone, has today been described as in a critical condition, after being diagnosed on Sunday.

How many were ill already though?

Is being old an illness?

The reality in the 1st world ebola is a problem for medical staff (who are personally at risk) ad that's just about it. More chance of dying from my laptop setting fire to the sofa (2-3 of those per year)

It's a start up. Could take years before the big leap into the big disease it wants to be. Consider the household computer....? it was a geek thing for decades before taking over the whole world. Ebola will take off more and more as the post peak oil collapse in industrial productivity makes space suits less and less easier to obtain....never overlook interconnecting variables....in your model.

This one was given the all-clear. I read in the BBC.

The original nurse is now fighting for her life in a critical condition.

How the fuck to they get infected with all that gear on? And with the knowledge of a trained nurse?
When the aids scare was at it's height, the slogan was "don't die of ignorance".

Perhaps they should bring it back for ebola.

Is this the beginning of the end yet, scump?

[Clinton Huxley]

Yet another damp, if slightly suppurating, squib.

[cronus]

The end is coming. It is only the start of the end at present though. I won't be posting about Ebola when it is everywhere. The hysteria will be manifest and not require me stoking it.

So could the flu (its a lot near to being so than ebola is).

Ebola currently is not infectious until very obvious symptoms are being shown (ie most people will stay away)
Cannot be transmitted via the air

Those are two massive jumps it needs to make which flu doesnt, there are simply far greater risks out there

Cannot be transmitted via the air

Ah comrade, but this is misnomer! The ebola is transmissible via droplet, which is, how you say, nearly same for all intents and purposes with sick patient!
