Ebola virus is now increasingly violent

Ebola virus is now increasingly violent. Ebola can affect anyone, including you. The Ebola virus is now being spread in Africa. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported the death toll from the Ebola virus in western Africa has reached 1,900 people. Director-General of WHO, Margaret Chan, said there are 3,500 cases of Ebola that has been confirmed, and most cases are in three countries, namely Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Ebola virus is very dangerous and deadly. Very likely could spread throughout the world, even to your country. Ebola virus is contagious and can spread through various media, such as physical contact (sexual intercourse, food to injury) "The epidemic is growing rapidly at a time when these countries are working hard to control its spread," he said as quoted by the BBC, Wednesday, September 3 2014, WHO held a meeting scheduled to discuss the most promising treatments for patients and to discuss how to speed up drug testing ebola in order to be produced. Disease control experts, medical researchers, officials from countries infected, and the ethical treatment specialist will attend a meeting in Geneva to discuss the case of ebola. Previously, the WHO has warned that more than 20 thousand people could be infected with the virus ebola virus outbreak before it can be controlled and prevented. WHO estimates that efforts to control this epidemic requires a fund of $ 490 million. Margaret Chan as the ebola virus outbreak illustrates the worst and most complex ever faced. "No one, even in the case of an outbreak of the same in the past as 1976 to 1995 people directly involved with the current outbreak, none of them had ever seen anything like that happen this time," he said. WHO data until 3 September mention, 40 percent of deaths from Ebola virus occurred within three weeks. On Wednesday, Nigeria reported two new cases that occurred in the City of Port Harcout. Previously, Nigeria reported only one case of Ebola outside Lagos Town, where five people died from the virus. "Ebola virus outbreak in Port Harcout have a greater potential to grow and spread more quickly than those in Lagos," the WHO said. USA Today launched the countries affected by ebola not have the resources to fight the virus. In fact, some hospitals did not have enough beds to accommodate and care for those infected with Ebola in the west African region. Department of Health and Human Services United States has signed a 18-month contract worth $ 25 million with Mapp Biopharmaceutical companies to accelerate drug development ZMapp. ZMapp is an experimental drug given to patients ebola as a final attempt to cure them. People infected with ebola virus will show symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and bleeding from multiple body holes. The virus can be transmitted through direct contact with infected blood, feces or sweat. Ebola can also be spread through sexual contact.
