Ebola
What is Ebola?
Ebola is a very dangerous filovirus named after a river in Zaire, its first site of discovery,1976. This filovirus is usually fatal, and it affects monkeys, apes and humans. Filoviruses are string-shaped, with a little hook or loop at one end. This virus is causing the biggest problems in Western Africa. Medical experts all over the world are taking steps to stop Ebola and to treat the people who are sick, in isolation.
How do you know if you have Ebola? [/b]
The first signs of Ebola can appear from 2 to 21 days after someone has been exposed to the virus. Most people's symptoms begin 8 to 10 days after exposure.
Early signs of Ebola include:
The symptoms are:
- Fever
- Headache
- Joint and muscles ache
- Weakness and tiredness
- Sore Throat
- Chills
- Fever (greater than 38.6°C or 101.5°F)
- Severe headache
- Muscle pain
- Weakness
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
- Bleeding
How do people protect themselves?
There is no vaccine to prevent Ebola, although scientists are working to develop one. It can be hard to prevent the disease since doctors aren't entirely sure how it infects people at the start of an outbreak.
The best way to guard against Ebola infection is to avoid places that have had outbreaks.

?This or that??
This is a simple old school game called the ‘This or That’
The rules are extremely simple, in fact there isnt really any rules at all…
This is how it works, for example:
Me: Mr T or Morgan Freeman?
Then you reply with the answer, and a question of your own for the person underneath you, for example:
You: Mr T, Xbox One or PS4?
I will begin with Apple or Samsung?
