<\/a>Ebola Outbreak<\/p><\/div>\n
The Ebola epidemic in West Africa is having a serious effect on the rest of the globe. This usually fatal disease has gone beyond its home ground in Africa to appear in Spain and the United States.\u00a0 The news reports are filled with heavy criticism of the United States’ poor preparations and questionable screening activities .Other nations are watching warily for the first victims and sign of infection on their soil. Israel’s government is actively planning to prevent importation of the virus and its superb medical and pharmaceutical industry has already started preparations with a possible cure.<\/p>\n
The world has known about the deadly Ebola virus for some time. It was a viral infection that had been centered in West Africa and no one really was concerned. Then a serious contagious outbreak began that totally overwhelmed the health organizations and facilities of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Finally a non-African national was effected and panic resulted. Despite alarm from many sources, two medical professionals were airlifted from their posts and flown to hospitals in the USA. From that point on the public relations battle in the media was in full force. Center for Disease Control staffers seemed detached and unconcerned about public panic about a disease that so far had not left its origins. There seemed to be no plan or strategy for containment,or testing of travelers flying from West Africa to unprepared airports with no screening programs. Wild rumors and the generally detached and disorganized attitude gave fuel to the fire of fright and suspicion. A spokesperson’s worst nightmare had come true.<\/p>\n
