Fatal Fever
Permalink  

In South Africa, a lady died after two days upon arriving. A nurse and a paramedic who had been with her died shortly after from the similar symptoms. These symptoms include a fever, nausea, and external bleeding. The deaths from this disease are much smaller when placed next to the victims of aids, but with the easier transmission of this disease people fear an outbreak.
What steps should be taken to control this possible epidemic?

Quarantines never work with zombie outbreaks. We need more radical methods to deal with the living dead.

yeah we should probably find out what exactly that disease is, and airports should be aware of this disease, if they do discover someone that is showing same symptoms lock em in the restroom on the plane so they don't effect anyone else!

hahah
scott
lets try and deal with these problems in moderation
maybe bombing the entire continent isnt the best plan

i agree wtih the idea of quarantine
put the sick people in clean isolated room
find out whats wrong
treat them
find out what caused it
prevent it from happening again

perhaps a team of people should be assembled by the UN to stop a possible epidemic


and if the out break spreads and the dead begin to walk among the living
bomb 'em back to the stone age

It sounds like a plague or something...

They should find out how it's transmitted, it's probaly air born, then work from there

i believe they should begin with isolating the sickness and determine what it is, then to find away to keep it from spreading, while trying to help cure it

providing vaccines would help some. Work on controlling the disease to avoid it from spreading so quickly.

i Agree, a Quarantine might by needed in this situation. If this illness is killing people before they even get treatment, ehhh. Their NEEDS to be a prevention hence A Quarantine.
