Now 2 healthcare workers infected... Knowing Bernie it's not a problem: "we have a contract" but scary stuff. This is a very serious safety issue.  :well:

F1 doesn't race around hospital containment units, last time I checked.

 

And the ebola cases in Texas have been in Dallas which is 200 miles away from Austin.

It won't be an issue this year. It might be next year, if the disease gets out of hand in West Africa and spreads massively abroad. At which point people won't want to be flying at all.  :cool:

As if the distance was a problem...

Guess people move by foot in Texas...

what's your point? Hospitals in Liberia doing better job of infection control than major hospital in US 9th biggest city. Which is very worrying.

50 minutes by plane.

Is this really a serious post?

 

Of all the ways you're likely to die in Texas I doubt ebola's on the first page of the list.

C'mon take it easy!... We have 1 healthcare worker infected in Madrid (I live in Barcelona - 50 minutes by plane) and I assure you that people's lifes in Spain have not changed a bit...

 

I mean if we were to hold the Spanish GP right now in Montmeló, there wouldn't be any problems at all...

Ebola doesn't spread like the flu. If it's 200 km away F1's right to have zero concerns about it.

There is a discussion the the paddock club re Ebola.

 

Unless there is a massive outbreak in Texas (highly unlikely in the next 2 and a half weeks), it doesn't warrant a thread for this year (and hopefully for no race ever).
