OMG

What I find most scary about the latest piece of news is that up until now, the death toll amongst the healthcare workers has been put down to inadequate equipment and training. What happened here?

She said she touched her face with a gloved hand.

If you look at TV cooks including those on the Great British Bake Off - count how many touch their face or hair while cooking.

That chap in the states that passed away due to ebola, the copper that visited his house now has it. Could this mean it's airborne?

No - it means the copper was probably a nosey git.

Some people have told me when police have come to their house on routine business, they have offered to make them tea and have come in to find them digging around in their stuff.

[SueEllen]

Oh Dear(tm).

Real doom.

Dooooooomed I tell ye! Dooooooomed!

Och, you'll have had your tea.

Remind me to spit on my door handles if the police ever visit.....

I truly hope this is a really disgusting collection of euphemisms.

R0, r nought) of an infection can be thought of as the number of cases one case generates on average over the course of its infectious period, in an otherwise uninfected population.

Ebola 1-4

So for each Ebola case, there can be 4 other cases.

Measles is 12-18 for example.

Hence why no hysterical Suity thread on the subject.
