I wish this was less nsfw because I'd love to send it to my fam. There's so much fear based news designed IMHO as political tools.

I would like to see how measured the UK coverage is once they have a couple cases in their country.

We already have had a case of it. American and British television are like chalk and cheese - we don't have televised spelling bees (and they would seem crazy to us), we don't have angry talking heads telling us what to think like bill oreilly.. we're actually pretty good when it comes to this sort of thing. Might be because we're a relatively old nation, we've absorbed a bunch of different invasions into our populace, wars, fires, famines and plagues.. there's something called the spirit of the blitz; brits don't like to panic, we're not good at outrage and yelling. Keep calm and carry on!

He looks like Britain's version of an uglier, lesser-charismatic Chris Hardwick.

I'm guessing the BBC's coverage is pretty comparable to PBS's coverage you might see on Newhour.

What I don't get is why the private for-profit networks in Britain don't get in on the sensational fear mongering. It's got to be profitable; assuming they have their share of paranoid older conservatives.

I assume you are referring to William Pooley.

I can see how someone who was flown in isolation, confined to a state-of-the-art isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital in north London, and held in said isolation while being treated with Zmapp is very similar to the situation in the US.

Now, lets throw in a couple of more cases and have your medical people handle them sloppily enough to let an infected person fly not once, but twice, on a loaded airline to different parts of GB.

I am willing to wager that there will be a slight bit of panic when, or if, this happens. It's a lot easier to panic when you have a case roaming 'in the wild' than a super sterilized case locked in isolation quarantine.
