CDC Lab

Medical experts from the United States are due in Nigeria anytime soon to study how the country was able to manage and contain the spread of the deadly Ebola Virus Disease, EVD.

Recall that Ebola was brought into the country by a Liberian called Patrick Sawyer on July 20. Sawyer, who later died a couple of days after, had already infected some medical personnel in the hospital where he was being treated with the virus.

According to the United States Centre for Disease Control, CDC, “Nigeria’s first reported case of Ebola surfaced July 20, when Patrick Sawyer landed in Lagos from Liberia and exposed 72 other passengers to the virus. Nigeria’s Health officials quickly issued notifications and tracked everybody who may have been in contact with Sawyer.

FDA Threatens To Jail Anyone Who Announces Ebola Cure

The Food Drug and Administration, which is the American body/agency responsible for regulating and granting approval to drugs and other related matters have threatened to prosecute anyone who announces or offer to sell unapproved Ebola Virus Disease cure.

This is coming on the heels of last week’s warning issued to three companies in the United States including; the Natural Solutions Foundation, the Young Living Company, and doTerra Company. The FDA had threatened them with criminal charges for making Ebola treatment claims while marketing their products.

With 3,000 people already sent to the grave by the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, one wonders how long it would take to find a cure in order to arrest the ugly situation and save humanity from drowning.
