I work primarily with disease and disease epidemiology.
Why the fuck is ANYONE who has been in DIRECT contact with Ebola victims allowed to fly straight back into the UK or any other country?
I know it's a hard virus to spread so long as you don't go round kissing and licking your dead, but surely a two week quarantine period prior to departure from the hot zone to see if there is any clinical expression of the disease.
Why are people, who are working in a region with a virus that is known to have a sub clinical stage being allowed to just wander back to heavily populated cities and airport hubs, and just having their temperatures taken - that's such a pointless exercise.

Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
clearly we can't have a quarantine as they need an excuse to get the disease into the country, you cant just release it and expect no one to question how it got here. And obviously we've got to have the disease here else the uptake on the new, profit boosting and mind controlling vaccine won't be high enough. It's all in the data, when you know where to look, it all becomes clear.
anyho, can't sit around all morning talking, got 500m of razor wire to string out.

Viruses mutate all the time and very very quickly - they are remarkable, incredibly efficient organisms that adapt to survive.
Airborne is just around the corner!
If it goes airborne it's a whole new chord progression.

There are herpes viruses that affect one species of carp but not another, the same with oysters. If you sequence them they are practically identical

Okay, so they have the specialist isolation unit there.... But why?
Surely it makes more sense not to transport the infected through a major populous to get them into absolute isolation?

But they both suffer from strains of herpesvirus that have minute genetic differences. One strain can be massively pathogenic, another may not even kill or present any symptoms
