Are you aware of the danger of the Ebola Virus killing thousands of people in Africa?

[nicky]

A very sad news about Sheik Umar Khan, Sierra Leone’s only specialist in the #EbolaVirus who was leading the country’s battle against the West #AfricanEbola outbreak, who treated more than 100 #Ebola patients dies from the #virus.
He died from the disease less than a week after being diagnosed with Ebola.

Although Ebola Zaire (Mayinga Ebola Strain), which is the form of Ebola causing the current epidemic has a 90% mortality rate, the issue here is my socioeconomic than medical. The mortality rate of the current epidemic is 60%, because of advances in medicine. The filoviruses are spread via blood and other bodily fluids, but only while symptomatic. The problem is that people are not getting the proper isolation and treatment at crucial times, because of misconceptions among the communities affected, as well as poor hygiene and education in such areas. Until those issues are cleaned up, the current epidemic is here to stay.

Well said.

It must be very hard to be alone in such situation. I have all the sempaties for the ones who suffer from the diease.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Yes very scary the one American is showing
slight improvements but all still serious condition
also 2 more Americans are in isolation showing
signs of the Ebola also they had a scare in
North Carolina Hospital which they thought
were patients thought to have the Ebola
but i think it was just scare i think the
President needs to pull all of American
people out of Liberia and suspend temporary
travel over there , Well two missionary's went
over there knowing them people were very
sick so

[RoseTylerRocks]

It makes me angry that they're planning on bringing two infected patients to America for treatment. I don't care if they're Americans; they knew the risks involved. Let them die over there.

There's a lot of viruses there that are killing people. This isn't surprising and it won't be the last

[front2back]

I am and I've been following this outbreak for quite a few months. It's scary. They said they were containing it but always one week later it would spread further and further and kill more and more.

I hope to God they can contain this. People really don't understand how serious Ebola is. It can effect ALL of us. As soon as that virus hits a major population center, things are going to get out of hand REALLY quick. Why isn't this getting more media attention?

[BEatenyou]

What CAN we do? If there's a collection some will put in their change and feel like they have done something. But honestly most people are broke or not rich enough to try and make a difference. The best anyone CAN do, is not spread it anymore and kill more innocents.

[Phoenix98]

Well there is survive or die and there is also the CDC as well as missionary's bringing things like medical supplies to the country not much more we can do besides that.

[AshBrown]

Just as aware as I am of the Zionist regime wiping out part of humanity.

[Daveduck]

And? Its called mother nature. Or survival of the fittest.

[BeingAGirl_xx]

Why are you so insensitive? Just saying.

[Corsair777]

Because death is a part of life, a human dies every second or more. Do you expect everyone to sympathize with them? Billions of humans have died in the history of humanity, should we shed a tear for them as well? No. Stop giving so much of a fuck about things that don't affect you... yet.

[Daveduck]

Exactly what corsair said.

You can't cheat death so you gotta learn to let go, we are literally only animals, we have a life span and it isn't that long.

[brooker]

Would you be as wreckless as you are now if it was your brother suffering from Ebola?

[Daveduck]

Already lost a grandfather and cousin to cancer. And if my bro was gonna die I would make my peace the same way.

[basketballchick]

i am actually my aunt was talking about it this Afternoon

[Anonymous]

I've heard of it before but i had no idea the specialist died though haven't really heard about it on the news lately the worlds focused on gaza

[brooker]

Gaza is a very big issue you are right but the life is still going on all around the world, dont you think? I also blame Israel for such genocide

[Opinion Owner]

yeah no ones denying that there tragedies all over the world im just surpised that the whole world can just sit by and watch a genocide take place

[Anonymous]

Ebola has been going around parts of Africa for years if not decades, this is nothing new.

[bubbletrouble]

Very aware. This is actually its 3rd (and most severe) outbreak.

[baby_honey]

This is how it starts... the walking dead y'all

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

That sucks but thanks for informing me

[molan]

Yes, a major outbreak is going on right now.
