SAVE THE NHS

Last week a returned China tourist developed a cold, next day called a doctor who diagnosed chest infection and prescribed anti-biotics. How many people might he have infected through not being isolated?

Indycymru has been warning about the perils of aviation for some time. Now we see a potential disaster centered on Neath, maybe it is not serious in the returned tourist, but the next in the chain might not be so lucky, less resistant, older.

Anyone running a temperature should be isolated and tested. If it can be shown that they are infected, then if they do not develop the full sickness, they are the people who should be caring for the suffering. The NHS is already precariously overmanaged and under staffed with effective workers. If the disease is put into our General Hospitals there could be real trouble.

But is there a test? With every laboratory privately funded and researching for profit, they are keeping their work secret. Racing for that big patentable breakthrough. They are not sharing their work which is being duplicated and rushed with corner cutting and contra indications being ignored. Get it up and patented and flog it at whatever inflated price the market will bear. Get Rich!

Good Luck to all of you!

If Saddam Hussein had been competent, a weapon like this, applied in this way, is exactly what he would have developed and executed. I think he was too stupid, but there are warnings on this website. Unfortunately the Blair and Bush everyone(?) votes for are even more stupid and are too big headed to get properly organised. How come Singapore is so well organised to deal with this forseeable emergency while the UK and USA are not? Singapore is thermally imaging all its outgoing airline passengers and detaining those with a high temperature to prevent the spread of the disease.

How did you say you were going to vote? New Labour????
