World News : Ebola: Heathrow to start screening passengers

[Anonymous]

Headline : Ebola: Heathrow to start screening passengers.

Excerpt from the Link "Heathrow airport is to start screening for Ebola among passengers flying into the UK from countries at risk."


My thoughts :

This is getting rather worrying when it could appear on our own doorstep. Not taking anything away from the people and families that have suffered from this to date.

Policy and protocols need radical change or the world will soon find out exactly how small a life form can take down godfather so to speak.

Auto correct really messed that up.

I'm hoping to be well away from this over the coming months but how long before this is a worldwide problem?

[viridis]

Not long.
It gets too close and my family goes on lockdown I'm afraid.

As soon as someone with Ebola flies into whatever country you can think of undetected...

It's already on three continents so until they come up with a vaccine....

How long till we have zombies?

Ebola was the virus used to "deliver" the Rage virus in 28 Days Later. It was also a fictional virus called Motoba which was very similar to Ebola which then became airborne in the film Outbreak.

...and I totally pressed the "Post" button before I had finished! haha!

So, with the chances that Ebola could evolve and become airborne and possibly mutate...how soon till we start having to Double Tap?

Best start planning something similar to Stephen Kings The Dome.....
