Metropolitan Police Escorting a British Ebola Patient to hospital

Vehicles from the Metropolitan Police Roads Policing Unit, escorting a Royal Air Force "Aeromedical Ambulance" and a Emergency Ambulance from South Central Ambulance Service into the Royal Free Hospital in northwest London.
The patient being escorted is a British Healthcare worker who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone. 4 additional healthcare workers also contracted Ebola, 2 of them are believed to have arrived on the same plane as the one seen being escorted in this video, the other 2 remain in Sierra Leone. The patient in this video is being treated at a special high-level isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital.

Some people asked why so many police escorted vehicle. There are two main reasons. One and most obviously, the patient is very ill. Second, the patient is a living biological weapon. Hoping he/she recovered.

gross overreaction with so many vehicles. For point #2, was the patient provided security at similar levels all through their stay in UK?

[@virginiafry9854]

The patient would have been in the RAF ambulance as they have the necessary isolation equipment. Also, there was a helicopter up monitoring the escort.

That's one BIG ambulance coming through!

[@virginiafry9854]

You don't need sirens - just use the loud speaker and shout "Ebola" - I can guarantee that the traffic will move!! Update - I am a doctor with extensive aeromedical experience, hence my suggestion as to what to do to enable a smooth ride!! I have actually refused to transport an Ebola patient from Kenya to S Africa (where I was based) purely because the logistics of equipping pilots with Hazmat suits were too complex at that time (late 1990s) - in addition, it is almost impossible to safely isolate a patient who is on life support - the ‘isolation’ pods are not geared for things such as artificial ventilation of the patient.

[@paxundpeace9970]

Ebola is not that much of an issue because it does knock most people out before they can spread the virus to many other people. They might infect some but all over the number of infected people remains low.

[@georgebrizell5702]

They couldn’t do this for every Covid patient

[@joohnm]

This was Ebola, not covid, this also happens 4 yrs ago.

[@hullian1113]

Let’s bear in mind that no matter where you sit on the fence about it, Ebola was much, much, *much* deadlier than COVID, and by Feb/March, it was pretty much everywhere. Well, at least the COVID patients got a free ride through Horseman Coaches.

[@joohnm]

@@hullian1113 Exactly what I meant ;) Maybe didn't make it so clear though.

[@boringperson-zb8vy]

@@hullian1113 That's the main difference between Ebola and Covid. Ebola is deadlier, and Covid is more infectious - spreading so far and fast that it activated a pandemic. Plus, some people and world leaders took Ebola more seriously than Covid.

[@MASTERJJ1995]

You don't need armed police to escort a medical convoy. SEG are for life threatening convoys of high ranking.

[@jamesevans938]

@@MASTERJJ1995 yes but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be escorting them and they probably are SEG riders its just that for this escort they are using standard met police bikes instead of SEG bikes since they need sirens in this instance

[@MASTERJJ1995]

@@jamesevans938 If it were the SEG, you would know by their white bikes and Glocks on the hip. The SEG or SO14 are used specifically for high risk VIPs and are a very small group of highly trained armed officers. The "rules" are they are *only* used for VIPs that are highly likely to be attacked and only if they are on public business duties, so Boris can't borrow them for a night out or something. So for this escort, since it's not a VIP nor threat of an attack, it is definitely not a job for SEG. The bikes that SEG uses have full police equipment too, they have sirens but they opt for whistles to avoid noise pollution of the VIPs, and to attract peoples attention as sirens may be too common. Hopes this explains it.
