Caiman thanks for all the info there. We shall see how it develops then wont we..? I've seen one of the majors procedures already and I think its a work in progress, to be frank.
It crossed my mind this morning that Argus is simply going to West Africa not to help the locals but to help evacuate our expats, or screen them. To process all our people back home via an airhead, and weed out the infected off out of the way? Sounds callous and I was slow to grasp this but someone mentioned it but they may be right. I try not to give it too much thought but its coming to the top of the daily agenda.
Screening for air travellers in West Africa is, like many things in West Africa- chaotic, disjointed and ineffective. The virus could be quite capable of jumping entire continents, let alone a few coastal linked countries.
