Just heard on Six one news there has been a suspected case of Ebola in Donegal!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not ebola!

Out on a limb?, would that not be leprosy?

Got an alert from RTE saying a body of deceased man in Letterkenny Hospital showing Ebola-like symptoms.

It might be possible but it's too early to say there's ebola in Ireland for a definite.

Flu. Especially if he was over 60. If the person was young, make me think ebola may come into play. Curious why if had ebola, he wasn't in hospital.

Such as death.

More than likely gutter journalism hyperbole, hopefully.

Irish Times are saying he was working in Sierra Leone and that several of his colleagues had contracted ebola. Still the thing to remember is that it's not airborne.

Absolutely, it's not like you just drop dead instantly. You'd be severely sick for a couple of days. Not going to hospital wouldn't really be an option.

Close the borders.

Option A: Quarantine the port and let them die! (duration 2-4 months)
Lose 100% of Trade Power from the port province
Lose all revenues from province
Lose 50% of manpower of the province


Sorry Dannie.

Northern Ireland should close it's border immediately. Train strike looks like a blessing in disguise now.

Lets build a wall around old Donegal!
The north and south to keep them out, my god I´d build it tall
Casinos, chicken ranches, I´d legalize them all
We´d have our own Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal
Yeah!! Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal

No trains in Donegal. Good forward planning on Irish Rail's part for once.

If true that is pretty shocking there should be zero flights to and from affected parts of Africa period ******* joke

I know medical workers are going out to help the people there but when they risk bringing a potentially lethal disease back to their family you'd think they'd give it a skip.

Should've let the Brits have it.

I love how the thread titles for this story has gone from 'body of a deceased man in Letterkenny was being treated for 'ebola like symptoms' to 'Ebola in Donegal' in the space of ten minutes.

The Herald will be reporting that millions are feared dead in Milford within the hour.

I was just about to send a SWAT team to Donegal to make sure The Backwards Man survives the threat!

It strikes me as selfish and idiotic that people who have been working in the places where the outbreak occurred are allowed to freely come and go from those countries and bring the disease with them.

There was a similar story of a Spanish priest who came back to Spain after catching the virus over there.

I mean a bit of common sense. Why risk it? If people are in an area where there's an outbreak, then they should stay there until they've got the all-clear. They should not be let into places where the virus hasn't hit yet. It's ridiculously risky.

What is the islamic jihadists in Donegal get Ebola? What will the government do now?

And yet I've heard a health worker (possibly with MSF, can't be sure though) say that she'd be FAR more worried about flu and other airborne diseases than Ebola - it's a horrible, horrible illness once you've caught it but you have to have actual bodily contact as far as I know, so it's not as contagious as people think.

She reckoned the panic over it was misplaced.

Ground zero is Mountcharles, co. Donegal. Suspected carrier was in Sierra Leone for the last few months, has been unwell for a number of days. it's probably all over the place by now.

shruikan2553

Due to the raging hard on people seem to get in Donegal by living as far away as possible from other people at least we won't have to worry about it spreading.

The resident viruses in Irish hospitals will probably kill off Ebola themselves.:pac:
