This week Ebola has claimed the life of millions so much physically but mentally. The outbreak has proven to send shocks through communities of these poor counties greatly affected, or should I say Infected countries. Two ways that people and communities are affected is in the economy and peace departments. Ebola has created somewhat of a mysophobia vibe, otherwise known as a fear of being contaminated. One example of this characteristic in people is through farmers of this West African region. With food already scarce the decision of farmers to stop their farming, which is key to the trade it stops the whole cycle of the economy that keeps hungry stomachs fed and the economy overall a float. The lack of food and money in these countries in need is a real problem and how they are going to fix this and keep everyone calm is currently a big question. Other ways Ebola is effecting economies is that with news of the outbreak, businesses such as hotels etc. are stripped of there attraction. Because of Ebola, businesses are plummeting along with the already weak economy.
With people trusting only themselves in this epidemic of Ebola leaves chaos and the many scared people and their thoughts on the issue. Instead of people uniting as one in a time of need, they are pushing everyone away. This lack of trust and addition of time to process as individual countries, sources say, is what could potentially cause a civil war. The stats proposed by the World Health organization is that by November the infected will triple to about 20,000, Is scary enough to think about when reading it on the computer and I expect it to unrest the civilians. The information shared by these top of the line organizations is definitely leaving people in shock. With the unfortunate fate portrayed it is easy to blame someone; in this case another country. Two of these countries, Liberia and Sierra Leone, already have a quite fresh idea of what civil war means. Even after the rebuilding and all the peace, the two are likely rivals in times like these.
"We are just in the 11th year since we started rebuilding our capacity together. This Ebola is threatening the capacity." Stated Liberia's minister, Lewis Brown.
Between both the physical and mental tolls Ebola is taking on people and businesses leaves the lives of the citizens living in these three main countries not only in the hands of the raging and in-curable virus, Ebola, But in the hands of the seemingly incurable human nature; greed, selfishness, and many of the like included.
