Are you concerned and alarmed over Ebola spread?




Repost from Want in News 4 days ago

The alert level for Ebola virus outbreak has been raised to level 3, the highest level.  News has it that in Guinea, where it started, 700 have died (vs 360 as reported elsewhere) and more more than 1,300 have been infected.  This has failed to trigger an alarm elsewhere in the world, as this is limited to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.




However, an alarm was raised when an American was flown in on the 20th from Liberia to Nigeria one of the most populous countries in West Africa.  That Ebola (as in the movie outbreak) can spread around the world via air travel is not just a movie but is real.

Many measures were made:  like school closure quarantines, border closing to prevent, contain the spread of the deadly disease.

A victim could die between 2 to 20 days after contacting and shows signs and symptoms just like ordinary flu. However the uncontrolled hemorrhaging of the eyes and ears show that it is Ebola virus infection.  The other symptoms are severe headache, muscle pains
