Love how Ch.9 has put Contagion on tonight (2011 movie)

Now remember not to take unplanned stopover excursions....

Actually quite logical.

I just find it difficult when USA survivors who receive the best medical care in the USA say they placed their faith in God for their recovery.

I guess God only looks after the advantaged in this world.

Could be because (the nurse especially) knows just how many errors and mistakes get made every day as well as the perennial cost-cutting 'enhancements' that reduce the real efficacy of the medical services.

Your last was too cynical given all the medical staff from the 'advantaged' who pay their own way and lose their earnings when they volunteer for organisations like MSF. They do not hog the media spotlight, put themselves in harms way and make a difference.

A bit like the 3 70+yr old nuns killed in Nigeria last year. One had been working their since she was 23.

I just think it's a bit arrogant to assume that God has helped them individually while many others have died. Unless we are going to trot out the "this is gods way" stuff.

And yes, I do understand that many of the medical people are driven to assist in disadvantaged countries by virtue of their calling.

Pity that MSF doctor in NYC didn't follow a 21 day isolation policy ... going bowling, eating at restaurants, using subway/cabs and hooking up with your fiancee really doesn't look like intelligent decisions.

The health authorities aren't in a hurry to change policy Ebola protocols will not be changed in light of New York doctor case | Global development | theguardian.com

NYC stops for no EBOLA.... Get with programme man

Yes. Surely that should be the norm for someone who KNOWS they have had active contact with the virus.

One would think his fiancee is feeling the most uncomfortable!

Being agnostic I don't take sides but I would say that anyone who believes in a god is entitled to think they have an individual relationship with him/her if they want to.

Guess that's why I'm not into religion.

New headline vaccine mid 2015 time to close thread......

The wheels on the Ebola bus go round and round round and round.......whaaaaaaaaa!

While not wanting to downplay the risk of ebola breakout.

This puts some perspective on it:

Yep. You don't see cancer there. The general population doesn't live that long.

When the world gets sick they will work a cure. If it was just an African disease as it has been till now, the west was in no hurry to actively assist.

Watch the pace pick up now the west could be under some pressure. There will be no religious argument unlike that associated with HIV. we will fastback a solution.

There was some sort of Ebola inservice at work today. Looks like anyone who's sick from an affected country presenting to an ED in NSW will be treated by staff in isolation wearing full PPE until it can be excluded.

Quickest way to get a private room and attention.
