United and Delta still flying from infected countries. Which means the inside of their airplanes are hot zones as they are not totally decontaminated after each flight. |

Welcome to the forum Udahl, and that's very true. The odds of it not spreading globally, especially considering the incubation time and travel from the infected region, the odds are fairly remote that it won't, but we never know. This should also probably take place at anytime and we may be on borrowed time, if you will. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/Avianflutalk |

There are a number of deaths during flight that we apparently never hear much about, but considering the sheer volume of people flying at any given time, it isn't that surprising: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/01/doctor-plane-air-ill-dies-mid-flight - http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/01/doctor-plane-air-ill-dies-mid-flight I'm still wigged out that Patrick Sawyer, the Ebola patient who died after taking a flight into Nigeria, was so violently symptomatic during the flight! I sure hope they use a lot of bleach on that plane!

I was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur about 6 years ago and a man died just 2 rows behind me. As it happened they got him going again about 5 minutes later, he'd had a heart attack, was very elderly. There was a doctor sitting directly in front of me and he worked on him with one of those electric shock things. The man was very lucky that there were a number of medical people on board. I overheard the doctor say to his wife when he got back to his seat that the man had actually died. I guess it happens quite often. ------------- Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. |

KiwiMum I will try tonight to move all of these subject over to Ebolainfo.org so we can do everything there for the general public to see. I am currently cleaning my garage so I can get more supplies in my shed. I have been lax in my preps and am getting them up to date and full strength. |
