“ It’s not the flu. Any more than Ebola is not the flu. Chicken pox isn’t the flu. Pneumonia is not the flu. Tuberculosis is not the flu.”
It’s a whole heck of a lot closer to the flu than any of those other diseases you mention.
It’s a viral attack on the respiratory system and the symptoms and treatments are exactly the same as the flu.
But don’t let me disturb your panic. Here....I’ll help:
BOO!
Did you even read the post?
Go back. Read it all the way through. You can use your finger. Sound out the words. You can even move your mouth.
Go ahead. Take a few minutes.
Then come back and we can discuss the point.
Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes fever, body aches, and diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding inside and outside the body.
As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding.
The disease was known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever but is now referred to as Ebola virus.
It kills up to 90% of people who are infected.
How Do You Get Ebola? Ebola isn’t as contagious as more common viruses like colds, influenza, or measles. It spreads to people by contact with the skin or bodily fluids of an infected animal, like a monkey, chimp, or fruit bat. Then it moves from person to person the same way. Those who care for a sick person or bury someone who has died from the disease often get it.
