    The infectious outbreak of Ebola

    Many lives are lost every year due to virus-related diseases and illnesses. Ebola is a recent
    epidemic that is easily spread and contacted. It has reached the major outbreak of its kind in history.
    This disease originates in Africa, precisely in four southeastern districts in Guinea. This epidemic
    is a nightmare to scientists and medical professions as it is currently claimed to have no cure. It is
    believed that Ebola spreads from bats to pig farms, then reaching the public by consuming pork.
    On March 25th, 2014 the Center for Disease Control declared that 86 suspected cases were reported
    to the World Health Organization (Liebelson and Park). The entire globe has been affected and
    influenced by this outbreak. There are now over 4,000 deaths and around 8,000 people already
    contracting this disease in Africa (Ashkenas). The speed for the spread of Ebola is terrifying and
    people should beware of it since we are a global community. The disease is highly contagious and
    as a result, the whole globe is at risk. Physicians have been nursing patients of Ebola by
    administering medicines to maintain blood pressure, using fluids and treat other infections that are
    likely to strike at this time. Consequently, the health of our nation and other countries have been
    endangered due to this Ebola outbreak. Not only I but also many people are afraid of what the
    future has since this deadly epidemic might strike any time. People are living in fear and it has
    destructively affected the economy of the subject nations. Public awareness is important to take
    preventive action to get the virus under control. It will take a global effort to make a change and
    save the life of many communities that have already been devastated by this disease. Since we
    want to save lives, ignorance is not an option the virus needs to be put under control before it
    strikes next.
