apparently she complained of feeling unwell at Heathrow but was allowed to board an internal flight to Glasgow - then she was returned via military vehicle to London …….. she should have taken more responsibility - before she flew out to Sierra Leone she praised the training so surely that training included the Hospital where any sufferers would be treated :-\

Quarantine should take place before they travel home I think. Let's be honest, it's better for animals and depending on where they come from they used to spend months in kennels.

She has tested positive for Ebola and is being treated with plasma from people who have recovered.
She should not have travelled at all. There should be a quarantine period in the country that has the infection, not this end.
