Before the movie on "Outbreak" of Ebola, in USA looked so unreal only movie stuff. However, it is so real now in Africa, More than 660 have died from the disease, and thousands have been infected.
It first started in Guinea in January 2014.
The countries that are affected are Guinea where you have the highest death of 314, Liberia 217, Sierra Leone 219 deaths,
Ebola is like dengue, a form of haemmorhagic fever. It is 90% fatal when contracted.
It is now the concern for CDC in Atlanta. Unless communities in Africa can contain the infected patients just to stay there, then the outbreak is imminent. Experts say that since there is no available cure, and 90% die from the disease, the best way really is to contain the spread and prevent the outbreak.
Ebola is a category 3 disease: deadly and no known cure. Even anti viral preparation cant prevent or counter attack the virus.
The only known help would be to have fluids. Mortality rate for those who have fluids infusion is 60% vs those who have none is 90%.
So avoid travelling to Africa or being in contact with those who just came from the above mentioned countries.
