As the title says, we have an old swine flu section lurking in the health section. Please can it be renamed as the ebola section (or even better ebola and other emerging illnesses to cover not needing to change the name again in future)

There are loads of threads popping up about ebola - with the media coverage people are bound to get concerned. There are people with some really good knowledge about epidemiology and disease control who can provide reassurance and real facts and information. It's quite hard work finding the threads at present and people are having to repeat themselves over and over.

If we have a new section it means that people can find facts quickly and easily - those advising will be more able to help. It was in invaluable during the early part of the swine flu epidemic and I think it would be again.

Thanks :)

?Thanks for flagging this. We probably wouldn't rename the topic as it would cause a lot of confusion wrt the threads that are already in there, but we'll have a think about whether we need an ebola topic/emerging illnesses topic.

?

We've had a bit of a think - how about a new Ebola topic?

Ta-dah (although perhaps ta dah isn't the right word for this subject) - new ebola topic

If there are any threads you would like moved over, please do report them to us and we'll shift them over, providing the OP doesn't mind Smile
