A Trace On The 2014 Ebola Virus Outbreak by Jayclinics(m): 8:51am On Aug 11, 2014 |
Experts has traced the course of spread of the deadly ebola virus down to a 2-year-old boy who died on Dec. 6, just a few days after falling ill in a village in Guéckédou, in southeastern Guinea. Guinea has three countries bordering it which are, Sierra Leone and Liberia. A week later, the boy’s mother died after being ill with the same symptoms as her son. Then his 3-year-old sister, then followed by his grandmother. All had fever, vomiting and diarrhea, but then, no one knew what was happening and what the disease was about. The chain didnt stop there. During the grandmother’s funeral. Two mourners contracted the virus and tranported it home to their villages. futhermore, a health worker carried it to still another, where he died, as well as his doctor. They both infected their relatives from other towns. By the time Ebola was recognized, in March, dozens of people had died in eight Guinean communities, and suspected cases were popping up in three of the world’s poorest countries recovering from years of political dysfunction and civil war: Liberia and Sierra Leone. It all started in Guéckédou, where it all began this 2014. On March 31, Doctors Without Borders , which has intervened in many Ebola outbreaks, called this one an “unprecedented,” and then warned that the disease had erupted in so many locations that fighting it would be enormously difficult. Also, this parts of Africa had never seen Ebola before. Health workers did not recognize it earlier, just like earth being hit by an alien attack. They also had neither the training nor the equipment to avoid infecting themselves or other patients. These countries lack water which would have reduced the spread as individuals and health workers has always lacked running water to even wash their hands. continue reading from: http://cliniconomy.com/2014/08/a-trace-on-the-2014-ebola-virus-outbreak/ #teamrolebackebola |
