Off Topic Maybe Ebola

I'm lurking. I can't really add much to what I said earlier. No news, no panic.

It takes roughly forty eight hours for a rumour to cover the entire U.K. by old fashioned word of mouth. I haven't heard anything, nor do I expect to.

Luck? You aren't really taking this seriously are you?

I'll take the luck anyway and be most grateful for it. I may need it later.

If anyone is interested the ebola virus has been spotted at heathrow airport dozens of times in the last few years. There probably isn't a virus known to man that can't be found somewhere in heathrow airport.

An outbreak of Ebola might be cause for concern but it would not lead to a pandemic. If it turns out to be B2H or even H2H it still wouldn't be a problem.

The pandemic, if there is to be one, will be from a virus that has not yet emerged. You will not need to speculate about its possible emergence. It will be right there in your face and mine.

Anyone know what killed the poor woman?  No results yet?

i think we know

but the majority of people are blind to this and will soon be blind-sided by this. I tell people and they go into this almost shocky denial state. I have also noticed a good deal more short temperedness.

I let my AVON team about this in an e-mail and I got 2 angry reps telling me not to send this "sort of thing" That it is a "hoax" can you beieve this!!

I politely replied and said "no problem. You won't be receiving this type of e-mail again"

does anyone else find it incredible that there is no further info on this?

how do you silence so many people?!

Sapphire: I don't think there is anything to silence, that is the problem. People have become so insular that they only see what is in their line of focus. It's tough to pull them out of it.

I am sorry if this offends some people, that is not my intention, but the only thing I can relate this to is trying to wake people up from their spiritual slumber to the fact that Jesus was resurrected and He lives. I am sure others who have a broader life experience base than I do and they can relate this to more varied experiences but that's all I have. When I try to tell people about both concepts it is like they get a dazed look, their eyes gloss over and the conversation just doesn't go anywhere. It is frustrating because in both instances I am just trying to throw them a lifeline to salvation, one spiritual the other physical. It hurts when people don't grab the rope.

I am also seeing a lot of apathy out there. There are no guarantees for any of us but some I talk to are just hopeless about what they can do, they are overwhelmed.

Aside from the poor woman who died, what I find most inexcusable and frightening is that the other people on the plane and the crew were allowed to leave! No matter if she had bird flu, or any one of the many contagious diseases, precautions should have been taken.

Does anyone have a contact in Britain with the airlines? or any way to get a look at the passenger list on that flight? I would be interested to hear some of their accounts.

but  they said it was not ebola. so can rule that out, i think.  it's the fever, and bleeding that concerns me.  maybe we will never know and it's time to move on--aferall, we do have a possible panflu to prep for.  but the silence is odd.
