poor sods:
All epidemics of Ebola have occurred in sub-optimal hospital conditions, where practices of basic hygiene and sanitation are often either luxuries or unknown to caretakers and where disposable needles and autoclaves are unavailable or too expensive. In modern hospitals with disposable needles and knowledge of basic hygiene and barrier nursing techniques, Ebola has never spread on a large scale. In isolated settings such as a quarantined hospital or a remote village, most victims are infected shortly after the first case of infection is present. The quick onset of symptoms from the time the disease becomes contagious in an individual makes it easy to identify sick individuals and limits an individual's ability to spread the disease by traveling. Because bodies of the deceased are still infectious, some doctors had to take measures to properly dispose of dead bodies in a safe manner despite local traditional burial rituals.[43]

Some of your clients have been complaining to me of these symptoms as well.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostSounds more like one of my hangovers to me.

Sounds more like one of my hangovers to me.A CDC fact sheet on Ebola says the disease is "characterised by fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, sore throat, and weakness, followed by diarrhoea, vomiting, and stomach pain. A rash, red eyes, hiccups and internal and external bleeding may be seen in some patients."

I think I may begin to though - I've noticed that this particular poster just seems to post the opposite of whatever the OP / general consensus thinks. I wonder why that is? Single? Lonely? Socially inept? Sockie?
Fingers crossed he doesnt get ebola

Contagious, but perhaps not as highly so as other nasties as it can't be spread through the air. You'd have to be exposed to a patient's blood or fluids in order to catch it. As long as proper physical barriers are maintainted (gloves, masks, etc.) an outbreak can be contained. The problem is that the countries where outbreaks tend to happen have pretty low standards for such preventive measures.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostEbola virus kills 14 in Uganda - Telegraph
I thought ebola was highly contagious? Isn't this quite bad news?
