Ebola scare on Canary Island nudist beach after migrants from Sierra Leone arrive on boat with fever
Daily Mail UK ^ | November 6, 2014 | By Corey Charlton and Jenny Awford

A group of migrants arriving on a Canary Islands nudist beach caused panic among naked holidaymakers when they reported having symptoms associated with Ebola.

To the shock of nudist holidaymakers, the 19 migrants landed on the Gran Canaria beach of Maspalomas and were isolated for seven hours while authorities struggled to decide what to do.

Several of the migrants said they were from Sierra Leone and Guinea - two of the most badly affected countries in the current outbreak.

The Red Cross arrived and quickly established a cordon separating the group from the nearby nudists, then began taking their temperatures while wearing protective gear such as breathing masks and gloves.

Eventually, the authorities used a dump truck to collect the group and take them away to a holding center.

My sister and I went to a nudist beach in Maui.

90% weenies, 10% bikinis.

(Old weenies to boot.)

This could be a new reality show for VH1: “Dating Naked Meets Ebola-Stricken Naked.”

So a group of African folks arrive there, and what do they find? ...the white island natives, completely naked.

This, I think, is probably bad nekid... If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.


Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Yeah, I know nothing about nude beaches, survivor shows or Ebola (actually I do know some about Ebola), but there has to be a reality show in there somewhere.

You're Welcome, ALamo-Girl!

(I think the people there were using an earlier version of the CDC's PPE requirements.)

I did not expect to chuckle on an “Ebola” thread, but this one has some really funny posts. Thanks for posting. Ebola has me stressed, and this de-stressed me a bit :)

It would make a good “Far Side” cartoon too.

God forgive me for laughing at that headline.

Nudists are weirdos and pervy, IMO.

If I were on a boat with a fever, I’d swim away from it.

Heaven only knows how many diseases a feverish boat could be carrying.

Just sayin’.
