Well at least they identified this one before she could come back into the country.

Last time, from what I remember, one of the nurses was infected, but she didn't go into quarantine, despite showing symptoms.

How much does it cost to quarantine a plane these days?

Next time anyone utters the usual bks about Foreign Aid....why are we spending money in hell holes like Sierra Leone when we have pot-holes here...'charity begins at home' and all that; this is a good example why we need to support hell-holes like Sierra Leone so we don't have to quarantine planes at Manchester and possibly treat up to 150 people in NHS hospitals.

This one thing is likely to cost the UK government significantly more that the investment made in Sierra Leone, certainly over the last year and probably longer.

Given the initial symptoms of Ebola, let's hope not, eh?
