To All By far after small pox which is since eradicated , the EBOLA Virus is the most dangerous in the world. It has a mortality rate of 90 %, and there are no vaccinations nor antibiotics to combat it, the disease spreads through contact, poor hygienic conditions and even by water and air, the Health ministry is to still give a travel advisory guidance to the countries where it has affected primarily in Western Africa, but reports are pouring in that it has already engulfed many a countries in Africa, and there was one case of a infected person having landed in Europe and another in India , they were quarantined immediately. The WHO eradicated the Small pox and it is extinct now but the residues of the virus is captured and stored in a container and is buried 200 metres below ground level both in England and Russia such that even a earthquake or a nuclear explosion cannot break the canister, many medical scientists have questioned the wisdom of having residues of the virus still stored instead of totally destroying it, even if the canister is to give away, the world would witness Small Pox again. The next target for the WHO was the eradication of malaria, some vaccines are on trial and they are confident that by 2020 everyone would be protected from Malaria but not from Mosquito bites, the third one is a extreme form of Diorrhea which is triggered by a virus which can deplete and kill a person in a day. And one of the eradication programmes on the WHO list is this Ebola Virus. America and European countries spend billions of dollars on research for a vaccine or a ideal drug, but the final breakthrough is evasive, though the medical experts are very near in making a breakthrough. . A advisory word - Exercise utmost caution and adopt preventive measures if you are travelling to the affected areas. I have just posted this in the interest of one and all.
