All that time you spent creating a fool-proof survival plan for a zombie apocalypse may not go to waste. Rather than protecting yourself from a sluggish undead human being trying to bite you, you’ll need to protect yourself from Ebola.
“Liberia’s Ministry of Health and Social Welfare indicated that the country currently has 4,901 body bags in stock, but will need an estimated 84,841 bags in the next six months if the disease continues to spread,” Eline Gordts wrote in the Huffington Post.
When the virus spreads to the estimated 84,841 in six months I predict thousands of the people will be transported to the U.S. for treatment. That means more infectious people will be in our country, in our hospitals close to our doctors who go home to their families. It’s a trickle down effect that will eventually infect us, literally.
The recent infectious virus has already been the cause of nearly 4,500 deaths and exists in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and the United States.
Considering we are one of the most powerful nations in the world, why are we one of four nations reported having Ebola?
The first person to have Ebola in our nation was Liberian native Thomas Eric Duncan, who was landed in Washington D.C. and was transported to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas for treatment.
The first U.S. citizen to catch Ebola is Nurse Nina Pham at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas after treating Duncan. Shortly after Pham contracted the disease her colleague Nurse Amber Vinson discovered she has Ebola as well.
Although Vinson expressed her symptoms to the Center of Disease Control (CDC) she was given permission to fly from Cleveland to Dallas on Monday, Oct. 13. On Tuesday, Oct. 14, Vinson was hospitalized.
Pause. Why would the CDC clear Vinson to fly when she openly told them her fear of carrying the disease. The CDC is showing their incompetence to preventing an outbreak in our nation and frankly should not be trusted.
Vinson was in contact with 132 other people on the airplane and now 132 additional people have the possibility of having Ebola.
Not only is the CDC monitoring people that have come in contact with Duncan, but now they will have to track down and monitor the passengers on the plane.
“The positive test means there was a breach in protocol somewhere that led to this infection,” according to an interview with Tom Frieden, the director of the CDC on npr.org. “Because of that, he’s concerned more workers could show signs of infection.”
Breach in protocol? In all actuality the CDC is hiding secrets from us. In the media Ebola is being passed off as a casual virus. This is no West Nile, this is the beginning of the end.
Prepare yourselves. An Ebola-pocalypse is on the rise.
