Ebola-free for 10-21 days. Then the family (poor girl was very symptomatic during her bus ride) will probably be the next patients.

hopefully, Mali will react NOW and isolate the few 10-20 passengers before it spreads too much.

Access for 25€? That's a pretty good deal! I've got priority pass unlimited access, but I always end up paying the 27$ for my wife to come with me. If that's a reality, I'll probably add the 25 euros each and every time (specially if the food is better than in the PP lounge - not difficult, as there...

A very interesting article about ebola.

Interview from a doctor on US news. Will try to find the info again.

He basically said that ibuprofen or other substances can lower the fever enough to allow people to go through security scans at airports.

The early symptoms (fever) can easily be concealed with paracetamol. It doesn't make people less contagious. When you read that Duncan lied about having been in contact with ebola-affected persons, when doctors pretty well know they were in charge of sick people but travel nonetheless, you cannot ex...

What about trying on 121.5, or relaying from other planes?

Anybody knows how long or how many missed calls it took for the fighters to be sent?

Anyway, if it's a callsign confusion, I can better understand.

Well... it's still a rumour amongst pilots working FOR SN. of course, the FO in question will deny. the outcome could have been worse. Remember the nwa? Flew past their destination for an hour. On the other hand, a sleeping crew worries me less than a FO who doesnt reply to ATC for an hour without w...

At what time of the day was it? which aircraft type? Anyway, controlled rest is normal with most operators. (Specially for 2-men operations through the night) But it must be properly set up. With maybe an alarm or cabin crew checking after a specific time lapse. the responsability lies with the pilo...

And our taxes would have been better spent if our governments had done something months ago. If there is a hefty price to pay to get rid of this, so be it. Now I wonder if SN will say it becomes too risky (read: expensive) to fly to ebola3, if they have to fly empty every now and then. Surprising, t...

Well I certainly hope you are all right and I am wrong. No ill feelings really.

I still think it's hard to organize a proper quarantine for every pax.
And the 'questionnaire' given to each passenger is a joke of course.

But the bare minimum would be to ban the medical staff from travelling just days after they've been in close contact with sick people.

Doctors having been there know how bad the disease is. They are trying their best to eradicate it, then they recklessly fly back to Europe endangering the population. If you're a doctor, you should know better and force yourself to a small quarantine before flying back. Anyway, I hope it's another c...

And again, I wonder... why now?
What makes it safer now for these airlines to restart their operations there?
why did they stop in the first place?

Jeez, what a stupid statement from his part. like you said... corruption in Africa? We all understand he made a risk assessment. And that risk is too low now to take actions. But saying openly that he'd stop the flights if there is any risk involved? Everybody knows there is "A" risk, even...

I find it strange that experts (or health ministers) in the last few years were so afraid of the avian flu that they stocked up on vaccines. Yet the epidemic was nothing like the big disaster foreseen. And there certainly was no Irrational fear amongst the population. Ebola could have been stopped i...

An NBC cameraman infected with ebola will be repatriated to the US, with his coworkers. Except him, none of the others are displaying symptoms, but they will be quarantined for 21 days. I very well understood Lumumba's point that people should be allowed to travel freely (well, healthy people only)....

And more reasons for french crew to go on strike

Surprising to see AF fly there again. What makes it safer than before?
is it better under control now than months earlier?

So much for "an extremely low likelihood" for contamination. Well, we'll see in 20 days. Hopefully by then, none of the other passengers or persons she was in contact with will have been allowed to travel. Now is the time to react in the US. Quarantine the 132 passengers, crew, and people ...

Passenger, I agree, experts call for more medical staff in Africa. But are they calling for more tourists back to Belgium?

If Belgium (and Europe) had had-oc flights to transport medical staff to Africa, will you be happy for SN to stop flying there? If not, why not?
