The issue continues
Although Ebola is not often discussed in the media, it is
still a significant issue in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. There
are 26,626 (CDC) total cases of Ebola with 11,007 (CDC) of those cases
resulting in deaths. More than 16,000 children have lost one or both
parents to Ebola (AFP). Many survivors of Ebola now complain of visual
problems, body aches, chest pain, headaches, and extreme fatigue.
For months, the hardest hit countries closed their borders to
minimize the movement of the virus. Those closed borders closed
businesses and schools. The countries' already fragile economies were
made much worse. The economic impact is an estimated $2.2 billion and
counting. Your support at this event will show the world we care about this global health issue and the people affected.
Ebola Virus Infection
ORIGINAL POST OCT 3 2014
Please note that all the people tested in Canada have tested negative.
The case out in Toronto's east end has not been Confirmed.
Ebola
is a rare but deadly virus that causes bleeding inside and outside the
body. Ebola is not Air born so you can't catch it just by being round
people.
As
the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and
organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop.
This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding.
The disease, also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever or Ebola virus, kills up to 90% of people who are infected.
Other ways to get Ebola include touching contaminated needles or surfaces.
How do I protect myself against Ebola?
If you must travel to an area affected by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, protect yourself by doing the following:
-Avoid contact with blood and body fluids of any person, particularly someone who is sick.
-Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids.
-Avoid hospitals where Ebola patients are being treated.
-Seek
medical care immediately if you develop fever (temperature of 101.5°F/
38.6°C) and any of the other following symptoms: headache, muscle pain,
diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding.
-Limit
your contact with other people until and when you go to the doctor. Do
not travel anywhere else besides a healthcare facility.
