Well be grand sure won't we?

Just in work now but I'm going straight home and lock the doors. I hope my employer will understand but I won't be back for the next 4 weeks just to make sure.

I bet the fecker only wanted to start their weekend early. Didn't think they'd be locked in a room in the Mater for having "the flu."

Mr. Incognito

I am sure details will emerge but my guess its someone who was travelling in Africa that may have a flu.

Better safe than sorry, but if it is Ebola, considering the standard of hygiene and overcrowding in our hospitals...

We Fooked.

They say that you can only get it from direct contact with bodily fluids from an infected person, would that be through sex or would speaking up close and inhaling their breath transmit it?

He's not too stick to stir it himself. I'll be here all day with a spoon if he's not going to do it himself and I have to get the messages.

Given the state of our hospitals I wouldn't be too confident is us dealing with an outbreak adequately.

Lads, time to break out the .12 gauge. Or samurai swords if you're in Clondalkin.

Oh how they sneered when we watched all those zombie movies for research purposes... Our time has come!

Transferred from where though?

There's some doctor in the Mater ecstatic that he gets to play with the clean room and NBC suits at last.

Not good if true. Where was this patient before they were transferred to the Mater? They get off the plan and the first thing they do is hug or kiss people that are there to welcome them... Boom virus could already be in 10 other people...

HSE denies reports of suspected Ebola case in Ireland

The Health Service Executive hast denied that there is a suspected case of the Ebola virus in Ireland.

It had been reported this morning that a patient suspected of contracting Ebola was to be transferred to the National Isolation Unit in Dublin’s Mater Hospital.

However, the HSE has since said that “there are no confirmed, or suspected, cases of Ebola in Ireland”.

"The National Isolation Unit in the Mater Hospital is used for patients with a variety of infectious diseases," a HSE statement read.

Is the original story just click bait by The Journal then?

Somebody in the journal jumped the gun here. No confirmed or suspected cases according to HSE on RTE1 just now

You can't fly. Only have a port and it's closed.

I suspect its big pharma wanting Ebola to spread so we all need to buy the vaccine!

AudreyHepburn

Jesus this really isn't the kind of the kind of thing anyone should jump the gun on.

Were the Journal trying to incite national panic?
