Is the world (WHO, US EU) over reacting to #Ebola?

Dr. Kent Brantley's blood as vaccine vs Ebola


Rizal Philippines   |  October 17, 2014

On one hand there is a reason to be scared;  9000 have been infected and death has surpassed 4,000.  1,000 cases are reported weekly and WHO predicts this to be high as 10,000 weekly, and cases could reach as high as 1.4 million by January 2015.

Remember, the first case was reported in Guinea last December 2013.  There were only 2 deaths out of 59 in Guinea last March.

Senegal and Nigeria now Ebola free?

At the same time Nigeria and Senegal would have passed the 42 days timeline to be declared Ebola free.

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.

2 American MDs of Samaritan Purse working vs Ebola in Africa infected

Live healthy and long

Rizal Philippines  |  July 31, 2014



There are now two American doctors working with Samaritan Purse in Africa trying to contain the Ebola virus who are now infected with the deadly virus

They are Nancy Writebol who lives in Monrovia with her husband, has two children and hails from Charlotte North Carolina, and Kent Bradley 33.

This is a great risk and sacrifice on the part of this American doctors who are trying their best to contain the disease.  There is fear that the disease could spread in Nigeria one of the most populous countries in (20 million)  Africa.  A Nigerian man arrived at Lagos airport and soon died probably of Ebola   He declared that he did not come in contact with anyone sick or who had died of Ebola.

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.
