From that link:

The Briton is "not currently seriously unwell", a spokesman said.

Health chiefs say the risk to the UK from the virus remains "very low".

Given that info, the patients status and supposed minimal risk, let's keep it that way! The cost of flying him home could be offset and almost similarly achieved by providing the best medical care in his current location.
Once this thing starts crossing continents, all bets are off.

Well that's okay no one is forcing you to contribute, see you around sometime.

AOG

Oh don't worry - I won't forget that comment. I told him at the time that it was beneath him, and I still feel that way.

However, that does not detract from the fact that NJ is head and shoulders above everyone else (with the possible exception of andy-hughes) when it comes to robust and factually water tight debating technique on AB.

Regarding my 18 posts (and I feel deeply honoured that you have taken the time out to count them) - you should discount those where I have simply been repeating my request for a response to your original question.

...and once again AOG flounders on the rocks amongst a sea of disagreement and questions he can't answer. You really do bite off more than you can chew sometimes.

"NJ is head and shoulders above everyone else (with the possible exception of andy-hughes) when it comes to robust and factually water tight debating technique on AB" I agree, but AFAIC he is still a bit of a fascist.

With the safety protocols which are already in place, and considering that the disease profile has not mutated (it isn't airborne), don't you think that might be a little *over* cautious?

[Zacs-Master]

There is no such thing as being over cautious with a highly contagious deadly disease. Leave him there=zero risk.

If I was floundering on the rocks (as you put it) why would you still be wasting your ammunition in the vain attempt to sink me.

No I am still water tight and afloat, more to your dismay.

-----------------
Not really sp. Plenty are infected with it over there and are having to cope so let's keep it that way, just give the Brit the very best we can and isolate him in a building of our own. An Iso container in the nearest embassy with a small team barrier nursing him would suffice.

I don't want to "sink" you AOG, you do a pretty good job of that yourself - I just wish sometimes you'd snap out of it and listen to what's being said.

[sandyRoe]

The experimental drug that has cured two Americans, is there much chance of it being used to treat other victims of Ebola?

I am still afloat, and shouldn't that be "read what is put", since I cannot hear a sound out of my speakers?

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, considering what you spout most of the time, you certainly are a floater...

[DTCwordfan]

The answer is yes, apparently, sandy. As quantities are currently very limited, the question is to whom?

[peachybabe]

I agree mostly with everything that has been said so far.

But I must admit to having slight concerns about the costs involved. We have heard several stories recently about certain drugs not being made available due to cost, but how much will this whole "operation" cost in the end? RAF flights and personnel, Police escorts, medical care and staff involved.

Just a thought.

[lady-janine]

DTC I heard on the news last night that supplies of this drug were now exhausted. strange. wonder what would happen if they found another american with this disease in the next few hours? I can guess.

////As if they could, still it keeps them occupied and off the streets.////

Good to see you admitting to being a troll at last.

Shame on you
so everyone injured in the Falklands should have been kept in the Red and Green Life Machine, until they were fit enough to walk or swim home ?

Just checking

As for AOG giving you best answer, that is to be expected from an old confused man....

if anyone's confused, its you, pp.
how you haven't been banned or suspended from this site I don't know.
I can only suppose that the Ed & mods cant decipher your Stanley Unwinesque posts.
