ooohhh the panic

No better place for them than Gartnavel then.

There are worse things than that for weegies to worry about

Sorry, are you guys being racist or is that nuanced humour?

Not being either or those. Gartnavel has an exceptionally good infectious diseases unit – hence my comment.

I predict somewhere between 65% and 70% zombification of the entire population of Scotland within 72 hours.

That would mean that Ebola would have had a great positive effect on the population.

That much of an improvement Jon. we can hope 🙂

If the patient wasn’t in isolation, she’d be surrounded by Weegies wanting to give the virus a square go.

Sounds like a job for Smeaton, John Smeaton….

Now I’ll admit that I find it difficult to keep up with current affairs sometimes, but I’m pretty sure that Weegie still doesn’t count as a race.

Legend – fae the Weege

Oh God, that’s where I was going to run to in the event of a zombie invasion. Plan foiled.

Well done, 1st with a race card, you win. And the prize is …….

that happened a couple of years ago! 😆

What did happen to Smeato The Brave anyway?

IIRC he moved to the states?

Hope the poor woman that risked her life to bring some care and comfort to others pulls through.

Sorry didn’t have any weegie jokes to hand.

Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure!

Risked her life and all those unfortunate souls on the plane and in the airport.
Great work they’re doing but this is also how the States got their first case, we need to screen them better or improve their cleaning or equipment to prevent infection in the first place.

Edit: it’s worse than I thought

so its now down to that period of time between becoming infectious and being placed securely in iso.

working out roughly how long that was and how many people it includes…

actually its just cross your fingers time, or pray, praying works, someone said.

I predict somewhere between 65% and 70% zombification of the entire population of Scotland within 72 hours.

45% already are zombies <runs>
