How in heaven's name was that allowed to happen.
-
A female health worker, flew in with British Airways last night from Sierra Leone.
-
What I don't understand kevin3 is that we have 700 good men and woman working over there.
Are we going to allowed them all to re-enter the country without any checks or any period of quarantine.
-
It was bound to happen. It was just a case of when.
-
Bound to happen with a member of the "general public" perhaps
But surely there should have been more stringent checks imposed by the Government on Ebola health workers.
-
Don't worry John.
"A full enquiry will be held", "Lessons Will Be Learnt", "Heads Will Roll" :)
-
Hehe :)
-
And despite Health being a devolved power we have transferred this patient to England.
Just saying......
-
Scotland's first lady has said there is nothing to worry about, so there. Relax. :)
-
I hadn't realised that Brenda had commented ;).
More seriously, Nichola and Jeremy (Hunt) need to answer what procedures were in place for such an incident.
-
Well, obviously the procedure that HAS been carried out i.e. Pass the parcel !
-
My brother in law is one of the 700 and his wife said last week that he will be home earlier in January as there had been changes to the planned 2 week isolation period, basically sending him home to see what happens!
-
Having now seen what happens, lets hope common sense prevails.
I think the actions of those volunteers is amazing, true heroes.
-
Six police cars accompanied two ambulances as she was taken to Glasgow Airport.
A tad over the top if the risk is extremely low wouldn't you say.
PS I agree kevin3 - the volunteers are good men and women
-
Two more suspected cases on in the Highlands, the person has been taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. One in Truro.
Both recently returned from Africa.
-
There was a radio phone-in programme on this topic this morning. Many of the calls reminded me of the nursery story of Chicken Little - plenty of hysterical panic probably from media scaremongering to sell more "news"papers.
-
Why the police escort? Am I missing something, Was the patient going to run into the crowds and infect everyone?
Fully agree with the bottle these volunteers have in these situations.
-
Colwyn - I am not one of those panicking (yet ;)).
I just don't understand why there are not more stringent checks being made.
And the police escort was a total farce - an utter waste of manpower and resources. Little wonder Police Scotland claim their budget is stretched.
-
Colwyn - I am not one of those panicking (yet ;) ).
Good for you. I hope you had your flu jab this autumn because that's a infectious disease that really wipes out dozens each winter.
-
I arrived Glasgow airport on Sunday, but luckily I didn't exchange any bodily fluids with the infected nurse. I also flew back down south today, but I think I was on a different flight. So, I think I'm OK!
Seriously though, its a bit crap, and the people that fly abroad to help others are the ones that seem to be at risk. I suppose there needs to be more intense screening, but I think its already as tight as it can be and I don't know what can be done.
-
Don't worry John.
"A full enquiry will be held", "Lessons Will Be Learnt", "Heads Will Roll" :)
The Brahan Seer is alive and well :) Apart from the last prediction (yet) which very seldom comes to pass :)
-
Thanks H. (Although, I will admit, I had to Google it ).
:)
-
As it can take 21 days to show surely they should have to wait somewhere? Probably wanted home for a Glasgow hogmanay
-
We are more at risk from the thousands of illegal immigrants who secrete themselves on trucks in Calais before travelling ,often for hundreds of miles into the UK before disappearing.Some of these are escaping the infected areas within West Africa,then mix with others in the camps on the continent before coming here.Its only a matter of time,and before anyone stamps their feet about this post I know exactly what Iam talking about as in recent weeks I have been exposed a similar situation but cannot go into too much detail as it was in the course of my job
-
Totally agree with your post Steve A, a ticking time bomb.
I have just watched Dame Sally Davies, who is in charge of protecting us from this scourge,
saying " It appears we need to revisit our criteria for the screening process ". She is being
very well paid to make sure it is right in the first place. Sack the arrogant cow. >:(
-
Sadly this nurse, Pauline Cafferkey is now in a critical condition and her condition has deteriorated.
Thoughts and prayers are with her, a very brave and unselfish woman
-
Sad news indeed kevin3. :(
-
Lets hope this lady pulls through.
-
Great news today from the hospital treating Pauline.
They have just announced that she is no longer critical
and is showing signs of improvement. Fantastic, and what a brave woman.
KKOB was almost correct. Dame Sally Wafflebottom announced that
" lessons will need to be learned ". Same old, same old.
