Crisis in the Red Zone

Richard Preston

The Ebola epidemic that occurred in West Africa in 2014 was caused by a highly effective and easily transmissible virus that can enter human bodies with just one microorganism. The Ebola infection takes advantage of our innate tendency to show empathy and take care of our loved ones. Consequently, the virus is challenging to control. The epidemic had a devastating impact on the countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. It was only when individuals agreed to quarantine their family members and rely on the expertise of healthcare professionals that the epidemic was finally brought under control.
