Nigerian health officials have confirmed that as many as 30,000 people may now be at risk of contracting Ebola from one American man who died after boarding a flight from Liberia to Nigeria. Reports indicate that fears of a global pandemic are now “justified” due to the incident, as this particular mutation of Ebola appears to have the capacity to cross international borders via air travel.
The worst outbreak ever recorded, this latest Ebola scare was amplified after Patrick Sawyer, a 40-year-old man from Minnesota, collapsed and died upon arriving in Nigeria. Sawyer, a naturalized U.S. citizen native to Liberia, had been scheduled to fly back to the U.S. on August 16 to celebrate the birthdays of two of his three daughters.
But flu-like symptoms that later turned out to be Ebola ended up taking his life before this could happen, spreading fears of a global pandemic currently in the works. Sawyer had reportedly been tending to an ill sister of his in Liberia who, as it turned out, had Ebola herself. But this was not known until after she died, and after Sawyer himself had contracted the disease.
Since its emergence late last fall, this latest Ebola outbreak has already taken a confirmed total of 700 lives. And since it can take weeks for Ebola symptoms to emerge, many more are likely infected, including some individuals who may have flown from areas of Africa where the disease is wiping out entire villages to areas around the U.S.
