Hello everyone

Alarm bells are ringing again. It doesn't seem that long ago since the last outbreak. This is a serious virus and usually ends in death if not treated immediately. The problem with this virus is it normally happens in remote areas with little or no medical care. By the time the symptoms occur it is too late for these individuals. The virus spreads very quickly as it can be transmitted from body fluids. Those who don't know help their loved ones but are only spreading it more.
There are 32 suspected or confirmed cases already with 18 deaths in the last week alone. This spreads panic in the communities as anyone could be carrying it. Poorly trained health workers can actually make the situation worse by spreading it. By the time it hits the news it is an epidemic and expect the numbers to increase over the coming weeks.
Nine neighboring countries have been put on high alert but they say it has a small percentage of spreading that far. Who knows as you can carry it up for mare than a week before symptoms rear there ugly head.

Very nasty virus and the very poor training and slow reaction of medical and military staff in these third world areas doesn't help. There were some talk of black plague not all that long ago that reared its head in Madagascar 2017. Spread like wildfire due to slow reaction.

What's next?
