Ebola Presentation

The presentation by Paul Brockmann dealt with the issue of ebola. My friend Christian hosted this event and my interest peaked from this video I remember watching. I'm not sure if it was Discovery Channel - I don't know what plays on our television anymore, people just put on random informative things. This time, the video basically interviewed a few people in Africa about their view on ebola. It may have been the place that the directors decided to record, but the African Americans seemed to have been oblivious that they have caused the diseased to be prevalent, today. According to the video - I apologize for being wrong, but this was based off of the video - ebola is a disease carried by a few species of monkeys that the African Americans eat. Their source of food displayed more hunting-like because the captured footage of the monkeys showed a vendor selling hairy, dead, roasted monkey. During this video a man bought a monkey and ate it then - in front of the camera. He then said, from what I remember, "Ebola doesn't come from us, we are healthy..." Somewhere along those lines displays a sense of oblivion - possibly some pride. The failure to acknowledge that ebola is stemmed from Africa, shows that they have no sense of urgency to heal these people. They believe that the sickness is of another malady.
During Paul Brockmann's presentation he presented experiential facts - and how his team dealt with those patients. The experiential facts consists of a mother being ebola-free while her child still remains with the malady. The separation, as Brockmann can agree, is heart aching. He also shared with his audience the tedious process that they must do when suiting up. Extra precaution is taken, especially when they are within close proximity of each other - if an ebola patient is carried, protocol requires them to carry the patient away from them to prevent skin to skin contact, or the risk of having their mask pulled off.
Both knowledge attained from the video and Paul Brockmann continues to spark an interest in me, and with due time this ebola epidemic, will be of history.
