[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 990186, member: 72205"] I'll be amazed if this goes ahead now Ire V Ita is cancelled. From my understanding which is secondhand knowledge from a friend who is a scientist, infection control specialist and part of UK response team none the less I am limited. Its about a 1% mortality rate when models are applied (dividing simple deaths V confirmed cases doesn't work) which is actually not too different to normal flu and kills similar people ie those with underlying issues. The issue comes with infection rates were are huge and a lack of vaccine to protect people. However in the UK and most countries with a decent free health service the main impact is going to be economic should it not be contained. Where work forces are likely to loose staff for up two weeks and its likely to be non insignificant number. That's pretty much all I know my friend has essentially been refusing all media request because they don't believe they understand enough to properly inform the public but has also told us not to panic at all yet.
