Ebola Facts

Talking About Ebola Control And Prevention Within The Cities In Africa, I Get Worried And Thought About It And I Asked Myself Is This Possible? And I Answered Myself Back That It's Impossible Due To Rate Of Poverty After Reading From Www.Ebolafacts.Com These Are My Worries:

How And Why? I Write As Below:

1. Over Population

I remember how I grew up in the urban communities, where a house built on a plot or half plot of land rather carried a number of rooms from 10 to 20 rooms plus, different families with at least two bachelors in the house and the rest of their families with three kids minimum.

Some cases had at least six people in a room plus the father and mother and on the street, this type of houses are mostly 97% built, tell me if a person contract Ebola in such Building, what is the chances of the disease not spreading around that community within one week?

No matter how worst one's family member gets sick and down, the loved ones will still get close to them, if Ebola can be contracted by hand shake and staying under the same roof with such patient as the news in spreading round town, then before the patient is reported to the hospital the family members and neighbors will be infected.

Our General Hospitals: When was the last time you visited one? The population on a morning queue only is not funny, if an Ebola patient who doesn't know the nature of his/her illness is found in that queue and sharing taught and words with someone next to him/her which commonly happens as well as shaking hands with people sitting next to people on those long chairs and you didn't think of washing your hands, what's the chances of not getting infected?

Or in a case where an unknown Ebola patient fell down in that queue or in a public place and you rushed to pick or check on him/her well being, because there are still good Samaritans in Nigeria and that person sweat robbed your palm or part of your body, what's the chances of that Good Samaritan not getting infected?

2. SHARING

I also remember very well in the urban communities when our fathers in the compound sat together in the compound to do a brief tenant and landlord meeting and if they have good friendship relations in such compound there's always a green bottle with gin or some kind of herbal drink whereby those who drink alcohol will share shots with one small cup all in the name of there is love in sharing, what if an Ebola patient is amongst them and he was the first to use that cup and the funny part is you don't drink and rinse such cup, immediately, just imagine the circumstances

3. POVERTY

Talking about poverty is also related to sharing under some condition, I remember when attending public school and you had spent your pocket money parents gave to you to school and it's break time you are so thirsty and do not have a dime on you to buy a sachet water the next option is (GUY ABEG DRINK AND LEAVE SOME FOR ME). There are several instances to talk about. A perfect example is where school children share ice cream and the rests. They are all at serious risk. These things happen because of poverty, tell me what are the chances of these kids would be if they don't contract the virus from the public school?

My personal advice to the general public is be prayerful and not panic and ponder over it else you will be afraid to even step out of your house with your kids to school and your business/work places and brethren that will be the beginning of causing yourself more harm.
