Ebola and much of its information remains unknown. Therefore it is difficult for people to get to the bottom of the disease. Scientists predicted several plausible theory and have begun to piece together some of the puzzle. It first appeared in 1976 in two simultaneous outbreaks in Sudan, Nzara and in Yambuku. Researchers also found out that the virus probably resides in the rain forests of Africa and Asia. In this essay I will be looking at how seriousness of Ebola and profound effects.
First of all, the Ebola epidemic in West Africa has stolen the lives of nearly 3,000 people since January 2014. In addition to lost lives, the disease is dealing a severe economic depression. Closed borders and abandoned farms are driving up food costs leaving many people in rural communities hungry. Emergency spending on health services is drawing money from already cash-strapped government budgets. The epidemic could reverse years of economic gains made by countries in this developing part of the world. For a concrete example, Sierra Leone, once navigating toward Middle Income status at an 11.3% annual growth rate could see growth of only 8% in 2014 and none in 2015. The disease has spread to all but one of the country’s 13 districts. The country has been devastated by restrictions on international travel, the closing of markets, disruption of farming activities and a slow-down in critical mining operations as a result of foreign workers fleeing the country for fear of Ebola.
Ebola virus is extremely contagious that we could be victims and this could lead to more mortality rate. However scientists do not know exactly how it spreads, however they do know that it can spread through direct contact with infected blood, especially on contaminated needles, and possibly through the nasal or respiratory secretions of someone who is infected. Health care workers and family members tending to the people who have the virus risk becoming
