Chapter 8: Final Thoughts

                       The Ebola outbreak pose a severe health risks to individuals that live in Africa and also other countries that have come in contact with. One important aspects about Ebola that we should consider is that the disease have the ability to spread rapidly which is due to the countries weak healthcare system. Therefore, there is a high mortality rate in Africa than other countries such as the United States. The symptoms of Ebola is so frightening that many healthcare workers and/or physicians are withdrawing from the battlefield of fighting the Ebola in Africa. Quarantine are quite not that effective today, because many felt that they are deprived from their human rights, thus, they ignore the quarantine method and continue to interact with others and even transmitting the disease to other individuals. When will Ebola stop? No one knows..... One can say that Ebola can be listed on the top 10 lists of deadly killers along with guns, cancers, AIDS/HIV, and etc. What we need now is global collaboration on the discussions of infectious disease management, emergency preparedness, and training of any health care organization professionals to combat Ebola. What we know now is that virus tend to transmit through the contact of blood and bodily fluids. The natural host of Ebola is the native fruit bats of Africa, and can cause internal/external hemorrhaging. But still, the Ebola is a mysterious agent that requires more analysis and investigation. 

                 One final thought is that I would like thank everyone that have read my blog for the past few weeks, really appreciate your patience and comments. I hope everyone that have finish reading my blog would have a better understanding behind the Ebola outbreak and the virus itself. I also hope you will grasp this information as long as you lives because I'm definitely not going to forget this since I'm writing this blog. LOL!
