A LOT MORE MAY DIE FROM THE SCARE OF #EBOLA ALONE.

This #Ebola issue has more than we might be suspecting. With the issue of whether it is a human invention or a virus from bats and monkeys, I have no comment on that though I have 1001 questions to ask about the outbreak. My issue I wish to address is the deep issue of a lot more death occurring in this Ebola outbreak season. One group of people who are at a higher risk of contracting Ebola is our doctors and nurses since they are the ones who handles patients anytime they come to hospital. So the question is, how do we protect our nurses and doctors? Because for instance, if a patient reports at the hospital of an ailment, that patient is suppose to pass through a couple of stages before being diagnosed of the ailment. So if it is Ebola, all officials especially nurses who are suppose to take the patient's temperature, weight and all the necessary tests before the case is referred to the appropriate quarters are at a higher risk of contracting the disease. Let's not forget that there are other sicknesses that have the same symptoms as Ebola so even if the patient complains about a similar signs and symptoms, a laboratory test must be conducted to be sure of the actual sickness. So here comes the question again, how can these officials be protected?
On the other hand, patients who visit the hospital for treatment for whatever ailment are also at a higher risk of dying even when they are not suffering from Ebola. The news about Ebola explains that symptoms of other sicknesses such as Cholera can be like that of Ebola so if a patient visits the hospital with similar symptoms but not Ebola, it could be dangerous for that patient because the nurse at post who may be very scared of also contracting the disease might feel reluctant to attend to that patient or not attend to the patient at all.What do we do to save such patients?
Also, the scare of Ebola can prevent family members from willing to assist patients with similar symptoms either to the hospital or with first aid since they will be scared to even approach that patient. This could lead to the patient's death.
This can happen to anyone. We all have relatives who are nurses and doctors and again, we all can get ill may be not contracting Ebola but any other illness and if we get treated by people around us in the wrong way, it can lead to our death.
Something must be done about this otherwise, a lot more people who might even not be suffering from Ebola will loose their lives. For those who have already lost their lives, I pray that their souls rest in perfect peace and to their families, my condolence.
GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL!!!
