LOL. I wrote it 3 times as well and people still can't read. I feel like banging my head against the wall.
I have just gone back to the BBC website article which was extremely contradictory when I read it 5 minutes ago. The headline said the case was confirmed but at least two quotes in the article said it was still being investigated - it has now been amended and is unequivocal - confirmed case being treated.
Why was this not picked up at Heathrow? This healthcare worker landed there and then got a connecting flight to Glasgow.
Many more people put at risk on second plane, this is a big problem and could be a catastrpothic mistake for the UK.
I guess that's an argument for quarantining returning health workers on arrival.
As much as I admire them for doing what they do they really need to be banned from flying for 3 months before they are allowed to come back into the country.
He is going to be transported to London he flew into Heathrow yesterday and took a flight to Glasgow he was working in Sierra Leone.
O great, the archetypal "nightmare scenario" then....ill enough at least today to be (possibly) infectious - and passed through one of the nation's busiest travel hubs within the last 24 hours, as well as being in close confinement with an aircraft-full of passengers on a domestic flight...
There's a lot of people will be hoping he doesn't have Ebola...

That's fine. But initially as you say it didn't say that which was my point.
Funnily enough yesterday I was thinking aloud that the whole Ebola thing had been a bit of a damp squib and we hadn't heard anything about it for weeks......
So now they've got to trace all those who were on that flight. All those working out there should be quarantined before being allowed home.
Well...given that last week the first of the possible vaccines passed the first stage of acceptance testing - they shouldn't be coming back AT ALL until the vaccine is available for use and they've been vaccinated and their protection confirmed.

No, it really isn't.
They did not become ill until Monday morning when they were immediately admitted into hospital.
The Scottish government added: “All possible contacts with the patient are now being investigated and anyone deemed to be at risk will be contacted and closely monitored. However, having been diagnosed in the very early stages of the illness, the risk to others is considered extremely low.”
The guy who died from Ebola in the US was sharing an apartment with his fiance and her children for several days whilst he was symptomatic and none of them caught Ebola from him. People need to read up on the non sensationalised facts and look at what has happened in practice before starting an unnecessary panic.

Oh calm down Ebola isn't airborne it's passed on via bodily fluids. Much less of a nightmare scenario than you seem to think.
He is going to be transported to London he flew into Heathrow yesterday and took a flight to Glasgow he was working in Sierra Leone.
Thankfully, there was a very good programme about Ebola on BBC One a few weeks ago, pointing out that if anyone does bring it back to the UK with them, they will get very good treatment and probably survive.
And as it's not very contagious, anyone else who might have been on transport with them will not catch it (unless they were thrown up on!).

The patient is in an isolation unit, not walking up and down the high street projectile vomiting over people.
I sincerely hope we do not see the utterly ridiculous panic in the UK that gripped the US a couple of months back.
The news channels have been saying for a little while now that the Scottish government confirmed the person has Ebola.

Health workers arriving from ebola areas should be tracked and routinely checked I think.
Landing in Heathrow and then going to Glasgow isn't acceptable.
I hope they get well.

I feel your pain. I mean, bloody hell, will this September ever end?
(An Eternal September joke, campers!)
The Canadians, but not in any quantity.

Oh calm down
Just as well, no-one would take a blind bit of notice.
I think the good people of Glasgow will cope with someone being treated in a local hospital.
LOL naughty
