OMG!! This is not good new oh!
Let's protect ourselves peeps.

Repteam: Pls who is Ebola ? Is he or she a celebrity or terrorist?

Key facts

Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans.
EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90%.
EVD outbreaks occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests.
The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission.
Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are considered to be the natural host of the Ebola virus.
Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. No licensed specific treatment or vaccine is available for use in people or animals.

Brief history

Ebola first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, in Nzara, Sudan, and in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter was in a village situated near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name.

How is it transmitted

Ebola is introduced into the human population through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest.

Ebola then spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. Burial ceremonies in which mourners have direct contact with the body of the deceased person can also play a role in the transmission of Ebola. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.

Health-care workers have frequently been infected while treating patients with suspected or confirmed EVD. This has occurred through close contact with patients when infection control precautions are not strictly practiced.

Among workers in contact with monkeys or pigs infected with Reston ebolavirus, several infections have been documented in people who were clinically asymptomatic. Thus, RESTV appears less capable of causing disease in humans than other Ebola species.

However, the only available evidence available comes from healthy adult males. It would be premature to extrapolate the health effects of the virus to all population groups, such as immuno-compromised persons, persons with underlying medical conditions, pregnant women and children. More studies of RESTV are needed before definitive conclusions can be drawn about the pathogenicity and virulence of this virus in humans.

See how scared people are? I don't knw why people are scared. I am not scared a bit. If Nigeria Spirit can defeat SARS and the two dreaded Flus successfully, then ebola is a done deal.

sandijey: Am scared o

why are you scared? hahahhahahha

What about the people that have come in contact with this man in naija?


So, do we need to be happy over his death or to watch out for any sign related to that of the ebola

may his soul rest in peace

Where the virus de since year 1976? Abi e go hide or e go call him brothers come?
If Ebola like make e wipe out the Rest of the continents.. As lons as e enter Naija... NOTHING DE HAPPEN

Jhosh: Am i d only 1 wu tinks d man was killed?eida by injectin em?To prevent spreading of d virus..

Do you people think that we health workers are that barbaric?

Better read about ebola....google is your friend.

Ebola is a very deadly virus....
Our Government should do everything necessary to checkmate its spread.

THIS MAN MAY HAVE PASSED THAT VRUS ON THE PLANE TO OTHER PEOPLE OOOOO CHAIIIIIIII

viruses are just too stupid, they infect and invade their host, and then kill it, not knowing that if their host is well contained before & after death, that will be the end of the virus.

RIP to the young man. May God grant his rest.

This is sad.

whatlyf:
Where the virus de since year 1976? Abi e go hide or e go call him brothers come?

The virus has always been there....it was first isolated and characterized in a lab in 1976.

People have been dying of Ebola for centuries. However, until the onset of colonial rule,most Africans lived in isolated communities....so whoever died of Ebola died without spreading it. The onset of colonial rule and modern means of transport meant that viral diseases had a route to travel. Like our Liberian friend....if he had lived 600 years ago, chances are that he would have died in his isolated village.

What about the people he came in contact with on the plane
they should find everybody on the plane manifest before it is too late
Fear dey me grip o

whatlyf: See how scared people are? I don't knw why people are scared. I am not scared a bit. If Nigeria Spirit can defeat SARS and the two dreaded Flus successfully, then ebola is a done deal.

why are you scared? hahahhahahha

The way people are talking about it. Sending broadcast messages about it and how infectious the thing is scares me. We wey dey enter public transport nko, Chaiiiiiiiiiiii. Am scared.

Babe if you follow media shout, hypertension will kill you(God forbid). They said the same thing of SARS(2003) and it reached Nigeria, NOTHING HAPPENED
Similar was said of flu...NOTHING Happened
Now ebola... Nothing will happen
Our own Ebola is our leaders, we have been "managing them" since "only God Knows when"

plsssss, what kind of odi eshi do u have in mind?

uzeba: This morning an ebola patient was brought to a private clinic, the sister said to the receptionist my brother has ebola the doctor being a yoruba man shouted from his office EBOKINI? Olorunmaje ki ari oriburuku he ran out of the hospital everybody followed including women in labor and Hiv patients.

Ebola no dey show for face o...

Btw, let his friends and close colleagues be quarantined also.

its so easy 2 prevent d spread of ebola, its nt airborne so ppl shud b at rest. Ders no way d man wud av infected d ppl he was with on d plane he boarded to nigeria so far der was no contact with secretions from hez body be it sweat, blood or mucur. nigerians shud stop panicking. dats why it is advicable to always wash ones hands clean with eida liquid soap or detergent b4 d hand goes in2 ur mouth.

Ceasar1: I read it somewhere that an Ebola patient is more infectious and deadly at death. I pray no one gets infected though when getting rid of the corpse.

The body will be incinerated before going to the ground.

LMAyedun: Mr. Patrick Sawyer, a WASH consultant at the Ministry of Finance, who had been quarantined since arriving Lagos, Nigeria on Sunday, July 20, 2014 with symptoms of the Ebola virus, has died .

A Liberian government official, speaking on condition of anonymity said the news of Sawyer’s death was relayed to Liberia by the Nigerian embassy, in the early hours of Friday, July 25, 2014.

The Lagos government health authorities announced on Thursday, July 24, 2014 that Sawyer was being tested for the deadly Ebola virus.

Sawyer’s death is the first recorded case of one of the world’s deadliest diseases in Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy and most populous nation, with 170 million people.

Ebola has killed 632 people across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since an outbreak began in February, straining a string of weak health systems despite international help.

Whoever has been in contact with this man needs to go for treatment don't be forming am not sick in your fathers house oooh
Anyhow thunda fire liberia for this nonsense

You can't compare any of those children to ebola. Besides SARS never got to Nigeria.

I wonder if he thought he could get medical help in Nigeria. Such a sad thing looking at his picture and wondering how his family most feel.


RIP

Janetozi: plsssss, what kind of odi eshi do u have in mind?

Nigerians are special breed. Epidemics don't Kill us in numbers. During the flu era, I and my friends did not let go of available chickens, we eat to pleasure(despite some people having "pity".
During the SARS era, I told my classmates that IF this SARS doesn't kill Nigeria, no epidemic will kill us. I stand by my position. Ebola will come and Go... Mark my word
