Lately all we've seen on the news is updates on the enormous Ebola Virus outbreak in West Africa, but have you heard about the new potential cure? Since the virus seems to be spreading like wildfire infecting many healthcare workers and natives in West Africa and Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria after starting in December; scientists have begun to develop a cure that is slowly starting to be tested on patients. Today numbers have risen tremendously since the initial outbreak in December to approximately 2,600 people infected and 1,500 fatalities. Will this cure work? or will the outbreak continue spread. The healthcare workers have been setting up many quarantine stations and health centers to treat newly infected patients, this may be good enough to slow down the virus from spreading even further but it will still take some time to fully implement this newly developed antidote.
EVERA. Everyone should feel this good about healthcare.
