        Indeed - Ebola has been around for about 20 years now but the main pharma companies are only just started to look for vaccinations/cures because it has started to become a 'real threat' to the western world.

        And lest be honest we know the pharma companies are not interested in developing a drug to save lives if there is no money in it.

          How does a virus, that is not airborne, and has a relatively low r0 spread to people wearing full hazmat gear?

            Very cleverly?

              Wasn't it to do with them not following procedures completely, i.e. wiping hands on mouth without thinking, or something

                Not for the most recent cases. I would be watching Germany now. They don't have sloppy procedures. If the clinical staff here don't catch it then we can chalk it up to poor standards or mistakes.

                  Plenty of us wouldn't be upset to see the notification that you have.

                    From the BBC article previously linked to by MS
                    Mr Varga refused to comment on allegations from nurses at the Dallas hospital that health workers had been without adequate protective clothing for days during the outbreak.

                    The nurses also said they had received little guidance on how to prevent the spread of the virus, that Duncan was not immediately isolated from other patients when he was admitted to the hospital a second time, and that medical waste was allowed to pile up at least once.
                    So it seems that MP can read and you can't.

                      "US health officials are seeking 132 people who flew on a plane with a Texas nurse on the day before she came down with symptoms of Ebola."

                      Oh dear.
