Love In A Time Of Ebola.

Sickening how this wasn't given the proper attention until people in EU and US were infected. But that's not surprising.

It kinda got the amount of attention you'd expect deaths in Africa to get.
It's getting a worldwide semi-freakout right now, however proper that is.

check out Fox News at the moment. wall to wall
scare mongering.
but no coverage of what's happening to Africans
or what can be done there about.
just selfish what if this affects us and who can we use a crisis here as an excuse to scapegoat.

Shouldn't this job of reassuring the populace be done by an expert or an informed official? Can you imagine Sharon NiBheolan or Aengus MacGrianna being given the job of health spokesperson if we had some sort of outbreak here? Shep's tan is almost as good as Aengus's in fairness .

The comments on that are as depressing as might be expected.

Is that total cases or people who have it at any particular time?

No it is death rate of the current out break the number of cases is considered about 10000 but it is most likely higher than that due to unknown and unreported cases. I don't think instances are guaranteed to be around always or "at any given time" before the outbreak there was maybe zero cases.

Travelling over to america next week for work. I just got this advisory e-mailed to me

Americas: Check for Ebola-related restrictions prior to travel

The authorities in several countries have introduced entry restrictions to curtail the spread of the Ebola virus. Health screening has also been implemented at ports of entry across the region. Travellers flying from countries affected by Ebola should enquire with the relevant embassies or health ministries about any requirements conditioning entry at their destination and prepare accordingly.

The following countries have introduced indefinite restrictions:

• Antigua and Barbuda on 17 October imposed an entry ban on nationals of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The ban will also apply on anyone who travels to the country within 21 days of visiting any of the aforementioned nations.
• Belize announced on 18 October that it would stop issuing visas for nationals of Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria. Sierra Leone nationals, who do not need visas to enter Belize, will also be banned. In addition, travellers who have visited any of the aforementioned countries in the past 30 days will be prohibited from entering the country.
• Colombia imposed an entry ban from 14 October on any traveller who has visited Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal or Sierra Leone in the past four weeks. The restriction will also reportedly apply to Colombian nationals.
• The Dominican Republic has banned entry to travellers who have been in the following countries in the past 30 days: Sierra Leone, Senegal, Liberia, Guinea, and Nigeria, as well as any countries that the World Health Organization has deemed to be affected by the Ebola virus.
• Guyana announced on 16 October that visas would not be issued to nationals from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Furthermore, health officials will screen travellers who have visited these countries in the six weeks prior to their arrival in Guyana.
• Haiti has banned entry to travellers who have been to Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone in the past 28 days. Travellers who have been to these countries more than 28 days before travel to Haiti must present a government-certified health certificate and the results of a blood test for the Ebola virus upon arrival. It is uncertain at this time how these measures will be carried out or enforced. International SOS is monitoring the situation.
• Jamaica imposed an entry ban from 16 October for travellers arriving from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, as well as those who have visited these countries within the four weeks prior to their arrival.
• St Kitts and Nevis have restricted the entry of nationals from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Similar measures will also be applied to travellers who have visited these countries in the 21 days prior to arrival.
• St Lucia has banned visitors from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The government has also announced that, in addition to a visa, visitors from Nigeria will be required to present a recent medical certificate clearing them of the virus. No further details are available at this stage, though we are investigating further.
• St Vincent and the Grenadines has banned visitors from Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
• Suriname has banned entry to foreign travellers who have been to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in the past 21 days, unless they can present an ‘internationally recognised health certificate' clearing them of the virus. No further details are available at this time.
• Trinidad and Tobago announced on 16 October that it would deny entry to nationals of Congo (DRC), Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. In addition, travellers who have visited any of the aforementioned countries in the past six weeks will be quarantined for 21 days upon arrival.
• The US has announced that from 22 October, any passengers beginning their travels in Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone will only be able to enter the country through the following airports: JFK International Airport (JFK, New York state), Newark International Airport (EWR, New Jersey state), the capital Washington (DC)'s Dulles International Airport (IAD), Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL, Georgia state) or Chicago O'Hare International Airport ( ORD, Illinois state).

Travel Advice

• Travellers flying from countries affected by Ebola should enquire with the relevant embassies or health ministries about any requirements conditioning entry at their destination, and prepare accordingly.
• Allow additional time during arrival and departure to pass through enhanced medical screening.
• Do not travel if you are sick. Persons with fever or other Ebola-like symptoms may be taken to designated centres or have entry/exit denied.
• For further details and the latest information, refer to our dedicated Ebola website.

Please do not reply to this email.

Please note that this travel alert was sent to you, to notify you about the health and safety risks in your destination. Travel alerts will be sent for the duration of your trip.
