Exclamation Ebola Alert in UAE

Does anyone care to share your experience with passengers effected with Ebola, Birdflu, MERS on your flight? This threat is growing while aircraft's are hardly ever cleaned, do the airlines realize the risk we are in, once we take off? we should be given special insurance coverage if no precaution being taken by Airlines.

I heard passenger from KSA died due to mers in Ist after taking flight with flynas and in Dxb passenger isolated in flight.

I like how you linked to an article about passengers NOT having Ebola- pretty much sums up the hysteria being spread, in this instance by you.

After the world-wide panic of H2N2, MERS and now Ebola, I'm not aware of one crew member ever being infected while on duty.

Of course, I AM aware of crew members getting Malaria, Dysentery and Hepatitis-diseases that are far more common and kill many, many more people worldwide.

Plus, of course, you are more likely to die in KSA by being beheaded for tweeting the wrong thing, so I would calm down about ebola.

ETA- Not to mention the roads!!

My biggest worry is an untimely demise due acute salmonella poisoning from six month old reheated eggs in the crew grub that has just done a round trip to Dhaka.

Ebola?

My biggest worry is an untimely demise due being taken out by some c/sucker local driving like a psycho in a Nissan Patrol.

Get a bigger car. If you fall foul of one of Darwins little mistakes during a road encounter, at least Newton will be on your side.
