Screening in Manchester airport now. This thing moves pretty fast.

I think Joe Kinnear tried to sign Ebola for Newcastle if I'm not mistaken.

Chris Brown was about right, though

This just seems a bit futile to me. Surely if you are going to screen at airports it has to be all or nothing? For example here in East Anglia, a high percentage of the work force is from the oil and gas industries and as such travel to West Africa on a frequent basis. A lot of these guys prefer to travel to the regional airport Norwich transferring from Amsterdam etc. It only takes one of these guys to be infected and i can safely say Norfolk/Suffolk will not be equipped to deal with Ebola. Same will go for places like Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Southampton to a certain extent who also have a high percentage of guys working in Oil and Gas.

We may well be, but our country especially a rural area like Norfolk and Suffolk would never have seen anything like it, It is not just the medical side of it though either, its the containing once it's here which as seen in the US is not as easy as first imagined.

Yes, but I'm sure your hospitals and whatever the UK CDC equivelant is have learned from our mistakes and will be better prepared.

i wouldn't be quite so sure!! In all honesty im sure there wouldn't be some full blown pandemic. Anyway back to my original point, i just do not see the point in cherry picking certain airports, it has to be an either all or nothing scenario where they screen.

I don't thing it's a film its Ebola serial !

Looks like the nurse in Madrid is free from Ebola thank God
And Nigeria will be declared Ebola free today
Nigeria had something like 20 patients infected and 8 died
Strict quarantine imposed there, seems to have worked
