In an attempt to not deviate from the subject here and also correlate to Ren's post, I'll mention Lyme disease origination theories. Interesting theory if you haven't read about it!

You might want to fix the link to the image. I looked into the HTML source to see the image, and aside from the "no risk" bit, which is conjecture, everything else the poster says is true.
As far as whether or not Ebola is a threat to the developed world really comes down to how quickly governments respond. Ebola is actually really easy to contain when you don't have people purposefully handling bodies without protection for religious reasons. Washing your hands will stop it in its tracks as long as you're not french kissing the infected person or getting their blood into you. (And if they're feverish, why are you doing that?)
Now that the UK is starting to lock down, I don't think it'll be an issue here as we really don't have that many airports for it to come in through, and we're already quaranting anyone with a fever even if they came from one of the uninfected countries. (Ports are less of an issue thanks to the travel time, with Dover<->Calais being the one big exception.
The nurses handled fluid samples that were used to test for ebola, and they actually did it without as much protective gear as they should have had.My aplologies about the link to the pucture.. :/ That's why I usually avoid posting pics...
If you can only get it from bodily fluids and such, then how did the nurses contract it? They were supposedly in full pritective gear...This virus has only been reported to have been around since the 70's, and wasn't a big problem until recently so my guess is they don't know enough about it...
