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.

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

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.

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

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.
