Dos_Box Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Ever read World War Z? We are currently in the first few chapters. Everyone's in denial and international borders are still open.
Gatt Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Nah My virus definitions are all up to date... ...oh wait... 4
LiamH Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Ever read World War Z? We are currently in the first few chapters. Everyone's in denial and international borders are still open. At least being in America now i have a fighting chance! *Goes buy an assault rifle* On a serious note though, at least they are taking measures, but since people can be infectious without any symptoms, the airport screening seems a bit silly.
Seb1780 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Worried yet? I'm worried that my plans for a US road-trip next year will be ruined by over-reaction bourne of bigotry and ignorance. I'm not worried for my own personal safety, yet.

jinnantonnixx Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 ..... On a serious note though, at least they are taking measures, but since people can be infectious without any symptoms, the airport screening seems a bit silly. That's just theatre - a big visual thing to reassure people. Here's a fascinating interview with the guy who discovered Ebola. The huge risk with this virus is that it evolves to have a much longer incubation time. 'In 1976 I discovered Ebola - now I fear an unimaginable tragedy' | World news | The Observer 1

Miscbrah Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I think you can cure it reasonably easily with phages, but not antibiotics as far as I've read.
JRowley Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I'm not that worried to be honest, Island nation after all. I am of course assuming the Gov. will act in swiftly if things do start to become out of hand in America/Europe, but it's still early days yet.
rickjames Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Some solid commentary here, worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwUEvr7oqrM&list=UUZ8Ql34vQn91fzq0xvG9Pqg 2

JJonas Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Phages work with viruses antibiotics work with bacteria. I am not aware of phage therapy for use in treating Ebola. Zmapp is a combination of three different type of antibodies produced by the body for fighting Ebola.
Hefferzzzz Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Shut the borders, kill it, open borders again. I heard on the radio this morning that the US nurse who was/is infected was allowed to travel on a commercial airline the day after telling her bosses that she had a temperature and didnt feel right. Theres another 200 people who could be infected just wandering around! I have purchased some high powered rifles, got plenty of tinned food, boarded up the windows and set booby traps. Yeah, you may think I look silly now but just wait until you are all chewing on each others arms!
