"EBOLA IS A GLOBAL THREAT"

I am personally very worried for the future and the economies of the three West African nations of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea that are currently facing the Ebola virus disease epidemic. This disease that first started in the rural areas of these three African countries have now reached their capital cities where most of their populations live. The health care infrastructures of these countries are outdated, inadequate and are now fully overwhelmed.

The national economies of these nations are now rapidly collapsing. The international tourism to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea has now come to the final halt. The major international airlines have stopped flying to Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone as well as the International shipping companies. The major hotels are now empty. The importation of goods and services are heavily down. The local farming and domestic food production are both speedily declining. International financial help is now needed in these countries more than before. 

The future of these countries depends on how they win this ongoing war against Ebola that has now officially claimed the life of 4,000 citizens of these countries at the moment and with more infections happening on daily basis. If this deadly Ebola disease is not defeated once and for all by the global efforts, it can spread quickly to the entire world like an ill wind that blows no nation any good at the end of the day‪#‎EbolaThreatensTheFutureOfTheWorld‬
