    The #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Hot Zone, written by Richard Preston works with its main goal of educating society on the disturbing topic of the Ebola virus. It attempts and adequately completes its goal to reveal the terrifying truth of the origins of this deadly virus to the whole of society. It is due to the fact that the Ebola Virus is both highly deadly as well as an infectious disease that it comes as no surprise that it is classified as an exotic “hot” virus. While the book takes place in and discusses many different places, the book’s main focus is on the continent of Africa, and the outbreaks that occur there. The first known outbreak of the Ebola Virus was located in a Central African rainforest, when Charles Monet, A Frenchman, was living there. It was…

    Recently our world has been in panic about a contagious virus called Ebola. As more and more people come in contact with this horrible disease, we learn more and more about it.

Unsafe contact with wildlife, lack of medical care, and inadequate safety procedures are what led to the first case of Ebola in humans and the spread from one country into another.…

    Lawrence K. Altman, in an article in The New York Times, writes that “Despite lack of prior experience, the experts predicted that any American hospital could safely handle Ebola patients with little risk to noninfected individuals.” That mistake proved costly in Texas, as Duncan died due to lack of proper care. Michael T. Osterholm, in an article in The New York Times, goes on and mentions the worst case scenarios, that “the Ebola virus spreads from West Africa to megacities in other regions of the developing world” or that “Ebola virus could mutate to become transmissible through the air”. The article goes on to state that the United Nations must exert more power over stopping this Ebola threat. The article warns that if the world does not take major action now, that Ebola could spread further and eventually become common in America.…

    In the late 1900s there were these unknown diseases that were making people die out of nowhere. This made people all around frightened to their wits. No one knew a cure for it or where it originated from. A disease known as Marburg which was first thought to be found in a guy named Charles Monet, caused him to have massive hemorrhages and clotting. This was a deadly disease which could be caught by the person who has it by as easily as it seeping through an open wound. Marburg is a filovirus which can be comprised with two types of viruses called Ebola Zaire and Ebola Sudan. Ebola Zaire is the worst out of the three, killing nine out of ten humans who have it. An incident occurred in Reston, Virginia where monkeys were being transported from the Philippines to a monkey house. Some of the monkeys started to drop dead for some unknown reason, so Dan Dalgard, the veterinarian who cared for the monkeys, contacted the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) to help diagnose the case. Dr. Peter Jahlring, who was a part of the USAMRIID institute, tested the blood of the monkeys. To his horror it came up positive for Ebola Zaire, the deadliest of the strains of Ebola. This caused a panic in him of which he rushed to his head leader and told him about it. No one wanted an outbreak to happen of Ebola Zaire so the C.D.C. and the army banded together to try and stop this horrific disease from spreading. Dalgard turned the monkey house over to them in which they terminated all the monkeys and bleached and scrubbed…

    The Ebola virus increasingly gained strength and has spread quickly throughout the human population in the epicenter of Africa. Although populations have natural boom and bust periods, Ebola has been dangerously contagious due to the “doubling rate of the viral population” that continued to increase from 2013 to 2016. Because the book was not updated since the author began writing this text and then published it, the Ebola topic has changed. Graffin left off describing that the Ebola virus is extremely contagious in a corpse as the virus settles in the body’s fluids. Poor sanitation and containment of bodies during burial allowed Ebola to spread. The corpses were overly exposed to healthy individuals during traditional burial practices in Africa because family members and friends all touched the corpse before it was laid down to rest. Thus, Graffin suggested that better containment of the bodies and keeping in mind to ensure the safety of the whole population would effectively maintain the outbreak. In today’s recent news, the book was unable to cover the fact that the Ebola virus has been significantly contained due to improves sanitary practices and burial…

    One of the diseases is Ebola. Ebola was originated from West Africa and the cause of it was fruit bats. Researchers took some of the samples from the bats and found out that they were sources of spreading Ebola. After they announce the cause of an Ebola outbreak, the officials banned people from eating or butchering the bats in order to prevent them from being infected. Some of the people may get infected if the people get bitten by the fruit bats. If a person has been infected with Ebola, the cause of the victim will have severe bleeding, organ failure,and lead them to death. The World Health Organization, also known as WHO for short, are currently working on finding the vaccine for Ebola. Charities, like GlaxoSmithKline, are funding enough money to donate to the organization so that they can further research on the vaccine. WHO is one of the members of United Nations Development Group and their responsibility is to report on health concerns from different…

    When health workers tried to enter the Kolo Bengou village, there were youths “armed with slingshots and machetes” who states they “don’t want any visitors … don’t want contact with anyone.” The fear surrounding Ebola as well as the aversion to outsiders causes massive barriers in treating Ebola. For example, the Wabengu village chief stated that his people “are absolutely afraid, and that’s why we are avoiding contact with everybody”. Many of the African villages fear health workers because of a lack of education and previous distrust of government. The elderly generation remember the ineffectiveness of the British government and how the British were biased in their treatments which ultimately did not work, and the colonial exploitation of Africa led to economic issues which led to unstable governments and subsequent fear of outside forces.…

    Ebola is a world issue at this point, as leaders of public health we have the responsibility to make an example of how to handle viral outbreaks. The current ban on visas to those who have been in west Africa is not the way to do this. While some believe that banning these people from entering Canada is the best way to protect our citizens, there are several arguments against the ban. Including that the bans gives incentive for countries to hide viral outbreaks, that this gives incentive for people to travel via les documented means in order to avoid these bans, that these people can not be tracked and helped if they are found to be infected, the several effects that disregarding the WHO, the experts leading world health, can have, and the unjustified reasons for implementation [1]. I will consider both sides.…

    The ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest outbreak of ebola ever recorded. The first documented infected area started in Guinea and now has spread from “Guinea to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal and killed more than 2,000 people” (ABC) This is a strikingly scary topic in the news today due to the virus’s rapid infection rate and lack of a cure. “ABC World News,” and “The Guardian” both inform us of current infection rate statistics documented by the WHO (World Health Organization) and what countries are currently trying to help. This information is causing wide spread panic throughout the infected regions and the world…

    Our world has become increasing smaller with the increase in air travel and communication. At one time a trip overseas would take weeks, now that travel is possible in just a few hours. News that once took days or weeks to arrive, is now immediately available. This shift to a more global society changes the dynamics of culture and the provision of health care. Health care organizations need to be aware of global heath issues and the impacts for the community from a public health perspective (Mauer & Smith, 2013). A good example of this is, the 2014 Ebola break out in Africa and the cases that arrived in the United States. Since health care organizations generally address local health concerns, there an under appreciation for the seriousness of the Ebola, how to contain the virus, and how to protect health care professionals (Kalra et al., 2014).…
