Description
Do you want to learn more about the Ebola virus and how it made its way to America?
In 2014, Americans got up close and personal with the deadly Ebola virus that has plagued Africa for more than thirty years. At the height of the biggest outbreak in history, an asymptomatic man who had contracted Ebola traveled undetected by screeners from Liberia to visit family in America. You'll follow the story of patient zero and the firestorm of events that erupted after the man arrived in the U.S. and developed symptoms of the virus, the people who contracted Ebola from him, and the mismanagement of a crisis by government officials. In this book, you'll learn about the origins of Ebola, conspiracy theories, how the virus is contracted and infects others, and the horrific symptoms of the deadly virus. You'll see how an incompetent response by government officials created turmoil amongst healthcare workers, the public reaction, and the hysteria that is caused when a nation is unprepared to deal with a deadly virus.Here are the chapters included in this book:
