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

    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.

    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. :p

    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.
