knowledge is power
The Ebola Virus crises is a problem for everyone in this world more especially if you are an African or live in Africa.This is the case because it is possible for the outbreak to reach other parts of the African continent.My question is how are we going to fight against this deadly virus and how are we going to educate and make people aware of how serious the issue of Ebola virus is.The fact is Ebola virus has no cure yet,so what will happen when it starts to spread to other countries?are we going to be forced to evacuate to other countries or be left to die.Some conspiracy theorists believe that this virus is the beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse,which will mark the end of the world.
There are many campaigns that are launched in Africa and around the world that are aiming on making people aware and educating us of this deadly virus.I think people should take part by joining some of this campaigns and in return they can gain experience that can help them help educate their families and communities.I believe that for us to be able fight and win against this deadly virus,we need to unite as one and educate one another. |
If this "deadly" virus has no cure, how come it only kills 90% of the people who are infected with it?
ReplyDeleteif you are asking about the other 10% of its victims, i don't know happened to them because according to my research it has said to have killed only 90% of its victims or people it has infected.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question on how are we going stop this deadly, I think blogs like this one might be a good starting point the more we educate people about all the facts the more people can protract them self
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mr Sibisi,what we actually need is awareness campaign and encourage people to take part.
DeleteThe more awareness we raise about this epidemic disease, the better chance we have to reduce the infection rate.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, awareness is the key but did you know about the Ebola vaccine that was discovered?
