In the early year of 2015 there was a virus that originated from Africa called Ebola. It effected tons of people and killed them. Some were cured by scientific medicine, others weren't. The Ebola was announced over after a couple months, and now a couple months after that there has been a dead body that was discovered effected with Ebola in Sierra Leone by the World Health Organization. The victim of the Ebola virus was a woman and the World Health Organization still do not know how she received it. But they have a theory that there can be small flare-ups of the disease existing due to the virus staying the bodily fluids of some survivors. Dr. Thomas R Frieden states that the woman had dozens of significant contact when people who might be at risk of Ebola. He also stated that the woman might have not predicted that she had Ebola because there are plenty of fevers every year.

This is interesting to me because every time I hear about Ebola I don't really know what to think about it. It's horrible that people in third world countries has to suffer more now that virus like these happen. Ebola came out of nowhere in 2015 and supposedly it's a very deadly virus, yes it may be, but I still have second thoughts about it. There is also rumors going around that the government created the virus to distract people, so that they do not know what secrets the government is doing or planning to do. Half of me says that the government created it because I always wondered how they created cures so easily and fast, at least for me it was kind of fast. If Ebola is 100% real, then it is a very life threatening deadly thing for humans because as I remember it is very easy to receive the virus if you are near one who has it.

This is important to the environment because this is one of the many things or causes that will cause human extinctions, to be honest. If a large amount of people worldwide had the virus, it would be an easy widespread disease. And maybe scientists and doctors do not have enough medicines for the effected one. This virus and all the other viruses; zika, malaria, etc they are all a mini cause of the sixth extinction. People will most likely die and our death rates will increase drastically.
