Beschreibung
This powerful history describes the daily progression of the Ebola outbreak that swept across West Africa and struck Europe and America from December 2013 to June 2016. A case study on a massive scale, it follows the narratives of numerous patients as well as the journey of physicians and scientists from discovery to action and from tracking to containment. The unfolding story reveals ever-shifting complexities such as the varied paths the infection took from country to country, the multiple responses of community members, and the occurrence of flare-ups when the outbreak was seemingly over. The book’s finely-documented present-tense reporting records key facts, events, and observations, including:
- Routes of Ebola transmission, incubation, symptoms, short- and long-term effects on survivors
- Early attempts to understand and contain the virus and curb practices contributing to its spread
- Medical, governmental, and public responses, from local education programs to global efforts
- Communication and conflict between healthcare workers and communities
- Social and economic outcomes of Ebola in the affected nations
