I think it's unlikely to spread. Don't you have to come into contact with their bodily fluids?

No chance. It's Albert all the way today on all media.

Albert dies on the same day that a suspected Ebola case is reported here? Coincidence? I think not.

Definitely one for the conspiracy forum.

BBC website have it may also get 10pm news coverage

Roquentin · 21-08-2014 08:11PM

the problem with ebola in poorer countries is they lack the technology to treat it. western countries have better technology so even if you contracted the disease, id say you would survive. The america doctor has recovered.

Jaysus imagine there came an almighty shower of rain flooding the hospital again, washing all his lovely ebola filled corpse-juice into the water supply

...and international news crews, surely on their way, witnessed it. Don't think they would be very reassured.

Roquentin · 21-08-2014 08:15PM

i think we should err on the side of caution and restrict the movement of all donegal people.

I thought Ebola dies with the host?, it's just very contagious while you're alive

Ebola "dies" with soap. Doesn't "die" when the host dies. Bodies remain infectious after death. I'd wager our biggest threat to spreading the virus would be our funeral culture. But, we can easily amend that.

Ah jaysus, and here's me starting a job in letterkenny in 9 days :rolleyes:

It's quite possible it is not ebola, but given that the man in question has returned from Sierra Leone recently it's certainly no harm taking precautions.

Does anyone have any other information on the man like his age and when he returned home.

Roquentin · 21-08-2014 08:19PM

the hopes of all donegal folk rest on ZMAPP

Any known ebola death - the body should be cremated. Simple as that. Regardless of what country its in or what your religious belief is.

Wasn't there a movie like that before "outbreak" was dustin Hoffman in it

The poor man was (allegedly) being treated for malaria. Very likely that malaria was the cause of death. His poor family, they must be heartbroken.

Kermit.de.frog · 21-08-2014 08:27PM

...

Suspected #Ebola victim was reportedly at a festival last week in Donegal.
