Body-melting virus killing hundreds virtually unchecked in West Africa
The scientist who discovered the Ebola virus. Dr. Peter Piot says that the current outbreak of the body-melting virus in West Africa, in which 467 people have died, is “unprecedented.” Piot also said that “because of the greater awareness, there is hope. But we’re running out of time.”
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) — “One, [this is] the first time in West Africa that we have such an outbreak,” Piot told TV journalists. “Secondly, it is the first time that three countries are involved. And thirdly it’s the first time that we have outbreaks in capitals, in capital cities.”
The non-governmental organization Doctors Without Borders warns that the outbreak in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia is now “out of control.” The spread of the virus has grown exponentially since being discovered in that part of the world at the beginning of 2014.
