With this you almost attain the name of biscuit from me, others already use that but I like to give the benefit of doubt.
Quote:Signs and symptoms
EHF is a severe acute viral illness often characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. Laboratory findings show low counts of white blood cells and platelets as well as elevated liver enzymes.
People are infectious as long as their blood and secretions contain the virus. Ebola virus was isolated from seminal fluid up to the 61st day after the onset of illness in a laboratory acquired case.
The incubation period (interval from infection to onset of symptoms) varies between 2 to 21 days.
So your saying people are going to fly from West/Central Africa, find & enter a contract with smugglers & then travel by boat to mainland Australia all within 3 weeks??
Sensationalist drivel
Did you listen to Ray this morning & pick up a case of the "Dumb Sheeple"?
Who is Ray?
Awwwww you gunna become a one trick stem head, good for you. I couldn't give a bugger about your benefit of the doubt.
It's in the paper, and has the potential to be a massive threat IMO. Along with other diseases not common in OZ.
People get infected - 2 weeks later they infect someone else, who in turn.....etc etc - it's not always about the individual carrier.
Just another reason to stop uninvited arrivals in OZ.
