EBOLA - A NIGHTMARE FOR MEDICAL AND DENTAL TOURISM




The virus Ebola is the most deadly thing to come along since the swine flu in 2009 and the Asian bird flu or SARS. The first  swine flu influenza pandemic occurred in 1918 and killed an approximate 50-100 million worldwide. The virus reappears often but is not nearly as deadly as ebola. The more recent swine flu was responsible for 1,000,s but not millions of deaths. 
Ebola arrives at a time when people travel more often and with the virus itself being more communicable than the swine flu of 2009 there is a potential recipe for disaster.
