An Epidemic is what they call it ,having killed 672 people in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone as of the 2nd of August 2014 ,Ebola is a the leading crises in west Africa,but not necessarily the world as the situation in Gaza seems more important.
In the Early days of the Ebola awareness ,one would think Ebola was a new dance made by one of the popular Nigerian musicians ,because of the rapidity that it spread across the country, but unlike one of Davido’s songs ,Ebola gained World wide recognition, it is said to be a deadly virus ,killing 60% of people that got infected with it ,that is 6 out of 10 people infected with the deadly Ebola virus were expected to die , that is if there were 10 Ebola patients in a room and they were away of that statistic they would know among themselves that only 4 of them should recover from the disease . but mortality rates can differ ,depending on how well the Ebola patient is taken cared of, you Don’t actually treat for the Ebola itself, because right now there is no cure for Ebola ,so treatments are symptomatic, you can only treat the symptoms it causes not the actual disease and hope the person with the disease can survive . The Ebola virus causes the Ebola virus disease and as the name suggest is a viral infection and a hemorrhagic fever, hemorrhagic fevers are bleeding disorders and all can progress to high fever, shock and death in many cases.
A virus and a bacteria seem similar but they seem are quite different ,a bacteria is much more complex than a virus , bacteria are regarded as living things because they do what livings things should do ,on the other hand ,viruses are not really regarded as living things because they lack fundamental characteristics of living things like the ability to reproduce or survive on their own,viruses can only survive in a host cell and can only reproduce in a host cell . Viruses affect only living cells ,Viruses can even affect bacteria, yes a bacteria cell can die from a viral infection ,that is how crazy viruses are .!
There is currently no reported case of Ebola in Nigeria ,except the one Liberian man that died in the country with a case of Ebola ,he traveled to Nigeria and it is possible that he spread it before he died ,But non of the people who are suspected of having contact with him ,have shown any signs of Ebola , Now the thought of the Ebola virus in a populated country like Nigeria is unthinkable not to talk of the outbreak of the Ebola virus in a densely populated area like Lagos which in fact is the most densely populated part of the country, out of the 15 million people residing in Lagos thousands may get infected now in the light of this ,the reality is that the consequences of a Lagos outbreak are enormous . but Nigeria has the worst timing for virtually everything ,it is when the possibility of an impending Ebola outbreak is highest is when the doctors of Nigeria decide to go on a strike. i just don’t know how and why and even who to blame, the entire system of government is terrible corrupt and it seems change is futile ,the System of government on its on is infected with its own Ebola virus with no apparent cure.
recently the very false news that bitter Kola has been found as the international cure for Ebola has been circulating ,that was one of the funniest things i had read this week ,please don’t believe it ,you cant just cure viral infections by eating foods, eating foods that boost the immune system will help the body to fight the disease,but usually viral infections are not cured by drugs,usually people can be vaccinated from a viral infection ,and even the vaccination doesn’t actually cure the disease it just helps the body’s natural immune system respond better and quicker to the viral infection. and vaccination are usually very effective in preventing the viral infection from taking over a persons body,if a person survives a viral infection they are very unlikely to ever have it again because the body in the course of fighting the infection finds a way of vaccinating itself ,that’s why you hear people say that if you get chicken or small pox
(which are all viral infections) ,you cant get it again .
so just know bitter Kola won’t cure Ebola ,its just a propaganda by the Bitter kola sellers to make more money,to me it sounds very funny,and by the way you should see a rise in hand Sanitizer sales, so if you are looking to make more money ,that’s the way to go.
