Ebola .... game on.

axisus

I work within public health, and Ebola has now been rated a level 4 incident, which means that it has priority over everything else we do. It’s getting like a bee hive at work. They are expecting a handful of cases here before Xmas and everything is gearing up to response, in terms of activity, containment, analysis, communications. It’s all beginning to feel a bit .... creepy, like some sort of 70s sci-fi movie! We will probably get it here at work one way or another as we have one of the nation’s cat 4 labs, used for analysing the stuff. There are certain staff here who I won’t be standing too close to if things start to happen!

The plus side with Ebola is that it is not that transferrable. If it was airborne we’d probably be looking at the end of the world as we know it!

If someone had it, and went to the pub, would the virus survive the glass washing machine, and could the next drinker who used that glass catch it?

If someone had it, and went on the bus, and pressed the STOP button, would the next person who used the STOP button catch it?

Do they not serve breakfast in your local when you pop in for a cheeky pint at 7am? What ghastly place you must live in.

I see you've got your priorities straight, Phil!

Probably only rinsed not washed - but agree about Weetabix ! Stuck, but probably sterile though

I think what @Phil_AKA_Pip is saying (quite rightly) is ... can we set up a separate topic for @axisus to quarantine him from the rest of us..

@Col_Decker cornflake or leper's lipstick?

There's always a silver lining to these things.

Ipso facto, Ebola outbreak in your vicinity = go to the pub. I'm liking this, it's kinda like my zombie outbreak plan.

I thought I had Ebola the other day, it was just a stomach bug in the end.

I was going to sell my LP's off but I may keep hold of them now.

my tin-foil hat wearing mate believes that Ebola (and HIV) are man made viruses mixed with alien DNA, spread via chem-trails to reduce the worlds population prior to the roll out of the New World Order.

 

 

ahh I wish I'd made that up, but he does think that. Thick Twat.

Decker does your friend live in a single room appartment, with nice white padding on the walls?

Or is he just one of the voices only you hear?

Did you not know that? We only cured Polio to convince everyone Big Pharma was on their side, really its just a big consiracy to fleece everyone of their cash.

Let's see how long it takes to come up with a vaccine now it's hit American and European soil.
