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.Continue
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
