    I believe the nurse has now recovered (or someone with Ebola has)

    And it was pretty much down to the immune system beating it.

    I think the scare mongering has gone on long enough - nothing to see here move along.

    He's more likely to die from smoking, alcohol, food poisoning, cross the road or being shot. Did they send a note about that?

    I consider it important that people who may be scared and are panicing are not allowed to run off to infect other people just because it would breach their human rights if they were physically stopped from doing so.

    Because the cabin crew handle stuff which the passengers handle and vice versa, and unlike medical staff don't wash their hands in between.
