economiccollapseblog | Ebola, Marburg, Enterovirus and Chikungunya - these diseases were not
even on the radar of most people coming into 2014, but now each one of
them is making headline news. So why is this happening? Why are so
many deadly diseases breaking out all over the world right now? Is
there some kind of a connection, or is the fact that so many horrible
diseases are arising all at once just a giant coincidence? And this
could be just the beginning. For example, there are now more than a million cases of Chikungunya in Central and South America, and authorities are projecting that there will be millions more
in 2015. The number of Ebola cases continues to grow at an exponential
rate, and now an even deadlier virus (Marburg) has broken out in
Uganda. We have gone decades without experiencing a major worldwide
pandemic, and many people believed that it could never happen in our day
and time. But now we could potentially see several absolutely
devastating diseases all racing across the planet at the same time.
On Monday, we got news that the first confirmed case of Ebola
transmission in Europe has happened. A nurse in Spain that had treated a
couple of returning Ebola patients has contracted the disease herself...
A nurse's assistant in Spain is the first person known to have contracted Ebola outside of Africa in the current outbreak.
Spanish Health Minister Ana Mato announced Monday that a test confirmed the assistant has the virus.The woman helped treat a Spanish missionary and a Spanish priest, both of whom had contracted Ebola in West Africa. Both died after returning to Spain.Health officials said she developed symptoms on September 30. She was not hospitalized until this week. Her only symptom was a fever.
How many people did she spread the virus to before it was correctly diagnosed?
