Some progress is already being made. The spread of the disease is no more virulent today than at it's first discovery.
As is true with most pandemic virus and bacteria, including the swine flu, early detection and treatment is vital to a better outcome for any individual. The problem in the African populations is their depleted condition at onset of the disease. The 'body's reserves' for fluid and wellness is a challenge day to day for any African man, woman and child. Add to that depleted wellness a virulent strain of virus or bacteria and the challenge to even stay alive is immediately upon them.
We have learned early detection and hydration is vital to an optimistic outcome for victims.

Clearly somebody infected with the virus (click here) could theoretically get on a plane and spark an outbreak – probably in a hospital – anywhere in the world. However, as with the Mers virus, which arrived in London via a patient who was taken to St Thomas' hospital, infection control measures are so stringent in more affluent countries that it is probable the virus would be very rapidly contained.
Civil unrest could and quite possibly has spread the disease in Africa. Africa, besides Ebola, is suffering from absent and poor water quality as well as drought brought on by the Climate Crisis. If one knows anything about the 'expectations' of the Climate Crisis, the spread of disease and eruption of new strains of microbes is expected.
Widespread distrust of health workers (click here) in rural areas is making an Ebola outbreak that has already killed at least 670 people in West Africa even more dangerous, the New York Times reports today:
Workers and officials, blamed by panicked populations for spreading the virus, have been threatened with knives, stones and machetes, their vehicles sometimes surrounded by hostile mobs. Log barriers across narrow dirt roads block medical teams from reaching villages where the virus is suspected. Sick and dead villagers, cut off from help, are infecting others.
“This is very unusual, that we are not trusted,” said Marc Poncin, the emergency coordinator in Guinea for Doctors Without Borders, the main group fighting the disease here. “We’re not stopping the epidemic.”...
The USA military warned of all this when it comes to the Climate Crisis. Did the USA Congress listen? No. They listen only to those that pay the highest price for their loyalty.
Considering this emergency and the one at the USA southern borders is it important to send humanitarian aid to sustain and improve the health of many nations?
Just say YES, that is the correct and best answer.
First World nations have global responsibilities and now Americans can finally say, "I get it."
