Cars owned: Getting a King-Cab Rat with a V8
The non-sense talked and the positions adopted by this Govt. regarding Ebola is tantamount to treason.
Go back to basics.
What does Ebola do? How does it kill us?
In base terms the virus penetrates the cell wall, the protoplasm within leaks out and the virus gains the nutrients within and strengthens. That is all you need to know about infection and knowing that elevates your understanding.
Now, that is the 'Micro World', but the process is also how the infection in this our Macro-World of today spreads or can spread across the World.
Replace the cell wall with National borders and (hopefully) the connection is made in anyone's mind who cares enough to see.
By sending troops, by sending out nursing staff we are not helping, we are simply attempting to be seen to do something whilst actually breaking our own cell wall.
It is an unholy mixture of First World arrogance and First World pride that we are so advanced and superior that we can forego common-sense and act like fools.
It may do us down yet.
