Ebola - can UK cope in a crisis?


Recommended Posts

It's not out of control. It's infected thousands (which isn't a lot in the grand scale of things) and it's difficult to spread, similar to the AIDS virus I think.

They now think the Spanish nurse caught it from her glove, much like people catch a cold, someone with Ebola sneezes onto a door handle, someone else touches the door handle then they eat a sandwich and they catch Ebola.

You seem to be forgetting that once someone is capable of spreading the disease they are also far too ill to go around sneezing on door handles.

Lets hope the drugs companies come up with a marketable drug from which they can make money and want to produce in large quantities to protect us all from this awful disease. Obviously there's no commercial reason to do it for poor people there's no incentive for shareholders and executives but the potential global spread may push them into action. even if it hasn't been tested properly. Come on Pfizer, come on astra z, come on welcome

How long have they been trying to cure aids and create a vaccine for aids?

 

My understanding is that it isn't an easy tax no matter how much money they throw at it.

They haven't got a vaccine or a cure but they are coming up with treatments and life extension drugs.
