      I would hope not ! But if we think about it statistically Essex has the same chances of Ebola appearing as any other city in the UK. However I would say the risk is greater in London. Due to the population, airports and hospitals treating any patients appearing with Ebola.

      Yes – the same way it’s a risk everywhere, however it’s very small and not worth worrying about. We all do far more risky things every day, like take car journeys for example.
