So before I say this I don't want to make death sound trivial... Every person is loved by God, and God died for them on the cross...
But there have been 5 countries in Africa that have Ebola (that we know of)...
That gives us a total population of 344 million people that live in third world countries with this virus... These countries are not rural but have huge cities.
Population of Freetown (Sierra Leons capital) is 1.2 million.
Lagos (Largest city in Nigeria) 21 million!!!...
Kinesha (Capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo) 9 million...
They have big densely populated cities that do not have adequate food, water, sewage, shelter, or medical care for an overwhelming percentage of their populations.
Yet today the death toll is at 4500? (Supposedly)
I don't want to sound harsh, but if a person has the flu in a city of 21 million people, within a week I can bet 4,500 people would have that virus... Yet, Ebola has had 8 months and has barely reached these numbers... I know 4,500 hundred people is a scary amount...
But the common cold has killed 24,000 people in this time frame. Over 1 million people have died of Aids in these 8 months... 5 million people have died of cancer in these 8 months... 1.7 million children have died of famine in these 8 months.
In my opinion this is the new H1N1 flu virus scare... But my opinion needs to be taken with a bucket of salt.
