ffs Glasgow just can't catch a break. Hope it's a false alarm but knowing our luck it'll be the real deal.

nah it's probably nothing but the hospital has to follow protocol. Media loves a scary headline though.

First case in over a decade and it shows up in a Glasgow hospital? Something's off here. Let's not jump to conclusions yet.

my point mate. Everyone screaming 'Ebola' before we even know what it is.

Oh man, that's scary. Thoughts with everyone at the hospital and the patient. Hope they get through this okay.

Typical media panic over a suspected case. Probably just a bad flu. Remember when they said 'suspected' during swine flu and it was nothing?

Lockdown's the right call honestly. Better safe than sorry. Props to the staff for acting quick.

Wonder if the patient just came back from overseas. Should've been screened properly at the airport. Our border control is a joke.

screening never happens. Told you all after COVID they'd drop the ball again.

Anyone else tired of the word 'lockdown'? Feels like we've been on one for years.

a precaution than a tragedy. Just my two cents.
