The signs and symptoms of Ebola disease Andhow 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.
Make sure you Read And Share this Post to your

known that patients who die usually have not
developed a significant immune response to the
