Guinea: Ebola death toll reaches 70: Fergalicious


http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/29/world/africa/ebola-outbreak-guinea/index.html?hpt=iaf_c1

 

The hemorrhagic fever has hit Guinea and has killed 70 people already. Officials say there are at least 111 suspected cases of the viral disease, it spreads in the blood and shuts down the immune system, causing high fever, headache and muscle pain. Anyone is able to get it  by contact with the fluids of infected people or animals. It is one of the worlds most deadly diseases and causes great panic because there is no cure for it.

Instead of just isolating the people that have the disease currently do you think they should be sent to a lab to be tested? And how else do you think they should stop the spread of the disease other than just closing the border?

I think that isolation is the best solution, so the disease does not spread. However, i do believe tests should be done on some in order to find a cure in the future.

quarentine is the best solution when it comes to a disease with no cure. Especially on that is as aggressive as this one.

I think that they should quarantine the area until they develop a cure that will stop the spread. If it isn't stopped it will spread and cause a bigger problem than there already is at hand.

They need to observe the people with it in isolation and keep looking for a cure

I do think they should be sent to a lab to find a cure but they still should be separated form everyone else.

Treat it like a zombie outbreak... if you're infected you die. We put you out of your misery then we burn the bodies to stop the spread of disease. Ebola is hell to live with and it will kill you. I think this is the best solution for containment. Its also very efficient in killing, "Curing", the virus.

Isolated the individuals infected and treat whatever you can. run test and what not to be able to find or even get close to a disease.

I think the sick should be quarantined and be separated from the healthy so the disease doesn't spread. We should work to find the cure.

I dont think that they should do test on people but on the virus its self. Also the best solution at this point is containment so that it wont spread to other places

containment is the best answer and only send them to the lab if they volunteer.

They should test them and try to find a cure, but in meantime, should be seperated. Being seperated though could have a negative effect on their mental state.

Definitely quarantine for those infected. Research on the virus and a cure should occur, but that may cost enormous amounts of money that they don't have. They should do what they can to help the people, but keeping them isolated is the best solution.

I think that keeping them isolated is the best option. I think they should do what they can to try and help these people and still try to make them as comfortable as possible while in isolation.

I think isolating them will only work for so long, so they should definitely and unfortunately use a few as guinea pigs to put an end to this so our reality doesn't become the next "I am Legend" story.
