Must Read: Three things you have not been
told/read about Ebola Virus
The signs and symptoms of Ebola disease
And how to prevent it
So Sad it’s no longer news that a Liberian man
named Patrick Sawyer has brought the deadly Ebola
Virus into Nigeria, Guys I must tell you that we are
looking at an epidemic. It was reported that atleast
30 people who had contact with the man in the
hospital are now being tested, but what of other
people he met on his way to the Nigeria/hospital i.e
taxi driver, pilot, air hostess, hotel Attendant etc
Then how many people did these people have contact
with? in reality we are looking at over 3000 contacts.
Now we are dealing with something we aren’t even
adequately prepared to handle. Medical facilities do
not have the hazard suits and do not know the
protocol for handling these cases. Its sad.
But Early Detection Might just save A life, here are
some signs and symptoms of Ebola disease.
