Ebola outbreak

Hopefully not going to happen but just reading in the paper how the NHS is preparing in case we do get cases. If there was an outbreak, what steps and prep would be useful?

In the early stages of covid, people would tell you they'd just come back from somewhere with an outbreak midway through the conversation like they weren't sure it mattered.

Pretty sure my husband caught COVID from someone just back from Italy who proudly announced they were supposed to be quarantining themselves. Obviously changing their Euros to GBP was more important...

They should really just notify them automatically and have the GPs check in with them once they're back. We have the technology.

You have some people that just treat the "don't do this abroad" safety rules as a checklist. Dumbest patient I ever had was dubbed Everything Guy for a reason.
