    The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa began in Guinea in December 2013. From there, it quickly spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone. Cases also appeared in Senegal and Nigeria, and there was another outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Today, Liberia is at the center of the epidemic, with more than 3,000 cases of infection. About half of them have been fatal.
    As President Barack Obama announced that he would be sending American military personnel to West Africa to help combat the epidemic, VICE News traveled to Monrovia to spend time with those on the front lines of the outbreak.

    The mentality of many of the Liberians is quite amazing. "No, I'm not afraid because I am doing this for my country", "If I don't do it, who will?"

      I really respect about that guy saying that. Atleast they are trying all they can do. The hospitals are full and there are not enough doctors to face the disasterous disease. They all need to get their act together. I do not think this kind of fear is enough to activate them. After all, it was 2014, I wonder what they are doing about it today.

      This country was set up by former US slaves, the capital Monrovia is named after US president James Monroe. The former slaves did their best to impose their American ways on the locals. Speaking English was one of the things they tried to impart on the local population. That was one of the first hurdles in Liberia's troubled history.

Covid 19 causes puss pockets in your lungs and people who die literally drown because their lungs are full of fluid. Pneumonia in lungs is clear and kind of looks like a spider web. Covid-19 is white and you can’t see through it because they are full of mucus.

      @jordan belfort because kids can have weaker immune systems that cant fight against Corona.

    • @thebeanlord4382
      @thebeanlord4382 4 года назад +1

      @jordan belfort Mate, I live in England, and we have been getting live updates by NHS everyday. And from what they're saying is that the scaring on the lung tissue is there because when you have recovered from Corona, your immune system is weaker. Leaving other bacteria to take over your body which is causing permanent scarring on the tissue which can cause long term illnesses or most likely death. Now you have a point, but people who have a strong immune system only have a 2.4% chance of dieing. If you do a deep deep deep web search you will acctually find malaria, Ebola, measles and even chickenpox have more chance of killing you. So those people who are healthy but died to Corona must of been unlucky. Maybe they had a severe case where they had shortness of breath. Sorry that this is a long paragraph just want to clean the air.

      It is "Darwinian" in that survivors may pass on a level of imunity to offspring, possibly throung mothers milk?

      @slimeronio 9 лет назад

      ***** I used "darwinian"not darwinism as a pop reference to evolution, just as chimps have evolved to live with HIV, resistence to ebola MAY POSSIBLY pass on to decenents of human survivors. Get it? Please read before saying stupid things.
