F me, pardon the pun. That means in every year there must be 1800 gays in London. Maybe more, some might not even have Aids. Who'd have thought it...

Bloody hell, that is scary. That means at least two north of Watford. Horrific.

They never make it past Luton though. So I've heard.

This is the bad joke:

Paddy shows the blonde Essex girl the L & R on his wellies and explains that it stands for left & right , she replies "Now I understand the C & A label on my knickers" .

Apparently C & A stood for what they sold. Coats and 'ats...

That is funny, but in their defense, Texas (Houston & Dallas) have some of the finest medical minds and facilities in the world. Not a bad place if one must be sick.

That goes for anything, anywhere...including where you are, unless you claim the NHS is the "finest".

This http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-29514920 is a bit worrying. You have to wonder if it was wise that she went on holiday within the incubation period.

That's bad - medics in first world countries shouldn't be catching it.

Why would it be any less of a threat in 'first world' countries than in Africa.The fact that we haven't quarantined Africa by cutting all travel links is a suicidal policy.The question being why and why aren't those from outside Africa,who've been infected in Africa, being kept there.Being that the disease is no more treatable outside Africa than locally and the more likely scenario being the spreading of it outside globally.As we're now seeing.

The obvious question then being can it be guaranteed that the disease hasn't already been spread into the US and Spanish populations by those who've been found with it there.

Let alone any possible future 'issues' assuming we aren't prepared to put Africa under a quarantine lock down.

At what point does it become more a case of criminal negligence against our governments rather than political correctness.IE do we wait until the populations are actually infected.Or do we call it when they've been 'potentially' put in that situation,by what can only be described as suicidal policies in the face of a lethal incurable highly infectious disease.

[dudleybloke]

another thing im noticing is most of the victims are being buried, i would have thought burning would be a lot safer.

You would assume appropriate infection control precautions were taken, so how she caught it is odd. She would have known if it was an accidental exposure, needle prick etc.
