Ebola will have a drastic effect in Africa:
He says Liberia seemed to change in just a matter of weeks.
“The streets were already less populated,” Wilson explains. “There were fewer people in the markets. There were all of the chlorine baths with signs on the buckets saying ‘Ebola is real.’ And the radio on 24 hours a day— all about Ebola.”
Besides its medical impact, he says Ebola has affected many Africans’ economic and social lives, including the way people say hello to family and friends, to how the food is prepared, to even the way people travel.
“No taxi cab could have more than three passengers in the backseat and one in the front. Before Ebola, it was very common to see as many as ten passengers in a small car,” says Wilson.
The Liberian government put in place several mandates to try to stop the spread of the disease. People are no longer allowed to gather in churches, street vendors can no longer sell their products, and business owners have to provide chlorine baths.
In addition, long sleeved shirts have to be worn to avoid skin to skin contact of people that might bump into each other, and schools were closed until further notice.
As a result, the fewer economic opportunities means more people in poverty, as most Liberians, Wilson says, live off of the equivalent of one U.S. dollar per day.
“I am most concerned about the potential for civil unrest as this medical crisis becomes an economic crisis and a hunger crisis,” Wilson concludes.
Even those who are not afflicted with the disease are still affected.
