The Ebola outbreak that began in December 2013 has garnered the concern of the global community. There have been many questions about this disease as the numbers of cases and death tolls continue to rise. Many rumors have surfaced and there are those profiting on the sale of protective equipment by amplifying those aspects about the disease and its sequences of events that cause fear. There has long been a need for a short but thorough reference for Ebola and this was the motive behind this publication. Information contained in this reference is cited to additional resources that provide more in-depth knowledge for those interested. The topics covered are current, comprehensive, fact-based and do not attempt to convey blame or sell products. Knowing about this virus, the disease it causes, and the improvisation used in Africa should provide a strong basis for managing and containing the outbreak in Africa as well as other countries where travel introduces the disease. Knowledge is power and this short resource provides that to its readers with a complete list of all of the references and their links where appropriate.
Genre: HEALTH & FITNESS / GeneralThis is a brand new book that was published 10/16/2014. It has sold 2 copies of the ebook thus far and today it was accepted into the larger eBook market as well as to Amazon for print. 9 people have downloaded a free sample to review it from the publishing website. I expect it is timely in publishing and will be popular because it does not aim to sell the reader anything like so many other books about Ebola and pamphlets sold as books has done. It is fact-based and fully referenced.
The word count is including references which do not need to be translated.
Ebola has recently garnered the attention of the global community due to the magnitude and spread of the disease through countries in West Africa where it never been seen. As the outbreak continued to spread, volunteer doctors and health workers from other countries became infected and were flown back to their home countries much to the protest of the citizens in their countries. Because of the lack of available and reputable knowledge for ordinary people outside of medicine, there has been a lot of fear, mistrust, and rumors that breed fear circulating. This outcome is not unlike that seen in Africa when the disease appeared in Guinea and then Liberia. This reference should provide both medical personnel needing a refresher on Ebola and everyone else who wishes to know facts a trustworthy resource that is free of unnecessary material.
