Even though I think the pharmaceutical industry maybe has a bit to much power in some areas worldgonecrazy, even I can see that the end product has to be economically viable.
Or are you saying that the decision to not produce and distribute a cure to ebola has been purely because 'we' are being racist in the West? (even though there's a human trial going on at the minute in the UK)
That we don't care about anyone else but ourselves.
That is bollocks and you know it.
I think we can already see what will catch us out (whether it's with ebola or another disease), because it's just human nature to make mistakes.
If the poor Spanish nurse did touch her face with an infected glove (which I find incredible given that she only went in twice and must have be hyper aware of what she was touching with what) it just shows that you can set all the procedures and isolation units you want up, but we're never going to behave as robots.
People forget common sense and get confused when they're in a dangerous situation, it's not always the case that it sharpens your mind. We're just too unpredictable.
The media reaction to ebola seems different to swine/bird flu, I came across a BBC article from April and they were jittery about it then, when there was just over a hundred people infected, it's almost as though they knew it was going to kick off big time. I'm not saying that in a conspiracy theory way, but does anyone else find that odd?
