While in the States, ABC News reports..

Ebola, Spreading in Africa, Could Land in US

An Ebola outbreak that has killed at least 672 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone could land in the U.S., health officials said.

Symptoms of the disease, such as fever, red eyes and bleeding, can take up to three weeks to appear -- ample time for an unwitting victim to travel outside the West African hot zone.

“It’s true that anyone with an illness is just one plane ride away from coming to the U.S.,” said John O’Connor, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “But we have protections in place”.

Donald Trump seems to be behind some of the scaremongering in the USA then...

He quotes :-

''The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great-but must suffer the consequences''..

And then goes on to add :-

''The U.S. must immediately stop all flights from EBOLA infected countries or the plague will start and spread inside our "borders." Act fast''..

I'm going to wait before I take the government's advice.

During the last cold spell we had, the government advised us to be well prepared for your daily commute.

So, I took the advise and off I went; tent, sleeping bag, flask of hot water, extra food, snow shovel, pain-killers, GPS, snow shoes, Kendal mint cake, 5 layers of clothing etc etc.

I looked a right twat on the bus to work in the morning!!

be interesting to see how far the 'untested' vaccine is allowed to go by WHO.
Question is which pharmaciutical giant stands to PROFIT from this ?????????????
