| Ignace Deen Hospital in Conakry |
Ebola one of the most world’s most deadliest viruses has spread from a remote forested area in southern Guinea to Guinea’s seaside capital Conakry. Ebola causes severe bleeding and almost always is a certain death, and this could possibly spread far beyond the borders this tiny West African nation’s borders. Ebola has already killed 70 people and others who have been exposed are being isolated in hospitals in Conakry. With Guinea being one of the poorest countries in the world and having a population of two million this could turn into a serious disaster and tragedy. Some people who have shown symptoms of Ebola fear to even enter hospitals as hundreds of people with Ebola are going there to be treated, meaning that the virus is circulating throughout the hospital with so many germs spreading. The people of Guinea are in panic and believe that “Only God can save us now.” Doctors are doing as much as they can to help these people and at the same time making sure that the disease does not spread too far to where it could possibly be a world threatening epidemic.
It doesn't seem like any media source is covering this enough. The populations in these countries is massive, and Ebola spreads very quickly. This could easily become an endemic if it's not watched, but most news sources are too busy covering the same stories over and over about Malaysia airlines and Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteYeah I totally agree with you, there has not been enough attention to this problem and there could be huge epidemic if it's not treated properly. They have also not been able to treat the disease effectively and if they don't this would was easily become a national epidemic. I think that if more attention was put into this outside countries such as the United States could help treat these people more effectively with there modern and more efficient medicine.
