Envision a disease that was so deadly, leaving trails of fear, and despair in its tracks. Successful solutions for Ebola need a required approach of isolation, induced travel bans, and vaccinations. The Ebola Virus was a major disease that affected large areas around West Africa. “The total estimated EVD deaths from 1976 to 2020 is 15,266” (Barbiero 3). The disease affected many people, and animals. The virus was transmitted from wild animals such as bats, porcupines or through contact with blood, or the bodily fluids of someone affected (“Ebola Virus Disease” 2). Nearly 40 years ago, a brave, and young Belgian Scientist named Peter Pivot, traveled to a remote part of the Congolese rainforest, and found why many were suffering from an unknown disease called the Marburg Virus, “we saw a gigantic wormlike structure -gigantic by viral standards, but after consulting with experts it was something beyond that.” (Brown 1). Pivot’s team had learned many were falling ill to the virus including fever, diarrhea, and vomiting lastly leading to bleeding, and in the end death. The Ebola Virus surfaced across large populations of West Africa. A couple years later, people have debated over travel restrictions, and inducing travel bans. Should travel bans be encouraged to keep the spread of Ebola from affecting other countries? During the plague many airlines have made travel restrictions to reduce the spread of Ebola, but reducing travel could hamper the medical supplies, or not let people travel back to their family. Focusing on this, stopping the ban on travel would not help the spread of Ebola. Thomas Frieden, a director of the U.S Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, had made a claim that,”until the disease is controlled in Africa, we can’t get the disease to zero here“ (Becca 1).Showing this Frieden believed putting a travel ban would not work on their end. Many Public Health experts have come up with new ideas, and explained that it could,” keep out some future infected travelers.” Wendy Parment, a director of the Program on Health Policy and many others, Wendy argued that the travel bans,” safety rules, could be a misapprehension, she said. At the end of the day we can't. And our own safety depends on our getting it right there, not on building walls” (Becca 1). This means people who enforce travel bans, may not be as safe as they think, and could impede the ability to stop the virus. However if this was a fact, it would make clear as to why many people who flew out, being sick with Ebola would stop the spread of the disease. Take this for measure. Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian, American Citizen flew from Liberia to Nigeria, who had contact with Ebola on his flight, went to the airport, got a temperature check and stopped any further spread of the virus. Sawyer had indirectly, or directly infected 20 people while being in Nigeria (“Man Who Died of Ebola in Nigeria Was American Citizen: Wife” 1). The result of travel bans may have not been people’s choice, though many news articles, and journals prove, that a travel ban likely would not have been able to stop the disease from spreading. It seems rational as to why people were wanting to enforce travel bans to stop people from traveling, infecting others. More decisions were made in airports like temperature checks, questionnaires, and screenings were made to spot Ebola easier, and decrease infected passengers. Isolation was another route to the Ebola Virus. Some solutions have surfaced, and isolation being one of them. Many people debate isolation, which is conducted to help people who have contact with the virus. Should isolation be used to stop people from getting infected, or lessen the disease? The virus was spread from animals, and human contact. Knowing this, using isolation may have not been enough to stop the spread of Ebola. In a village called Mahwah in Bong County Liberia the local government, and people had decided on their own to quarantine, and help themselves, throughout the epidemic. Another similar isolation idea happened in Sierra Leone, where the government had made curfews that ranged from weeks, to days, and how long you should stay at home, (“World Health Organization"). The government had made amazing prepositions to help the environment of the people. Lastly, the effects they have taken in Sierra Leone, and in Bong County, Liberia may have overcome the disease, and prevented the spread, but many have felt the impacts of despair, and fear lingering them. In Kanzuli Nzuli a similar case has erupted, where 46 people have freely volunteered to isolate themselves in a partially- built hotel from Ebola.“We eat well here,” Doti Kavago says, choosing the hotel to isolate herself, with her three children (“World Health Organization" 3). Luckily, today choosing isolation 54.7%, the number of Ebola cases have reduced, compared to not isolating (“A community-based contact isolation strategy to reduce the spread of Ebola virus disease”). Even though isolation will not completely erase Ebola, it can help drastically change the infected levels. Lastly, vaccination is the last solution to help stop Ebola. Back in the later years, people did not have certain vaccinations or medicines, and more people would be infected as well as animals for that fact. Vaccinations were non-existent, occasionally when a family member got sick someone in the family would make remedies or herbal medicine. Considering people back then did not have proper education on medicine or the right tools, or technology, people had to rely on what they had like herbal plants in the yard, types of bark on trees, or even animal fat. The lack of vaccination, and isolation caused many outbreaks of Ebola, not many thought there would be a solution to the outbreak at the time. Numerous people, and doctors have used their skills, and knowledge to try to find treatments, but the molecules in the virus were too small, and it had been hard to develop vaccines. Derek Gatherer, a bioinformatics researcher at Lancaster University said,”Antiviral therapy has lagged behind antibacterial therapy for decades (Rettner 4). Ebola viruses are dangerous, because they evolve quickly, so finding a treatment takes time. The devastating virus that covered West Africa, and killed roughly 15,266 people per year, has now affected many less. The modern technology, and solutions have advanced in travel bans, isolation, and to provide vaccines, has helped the infected people from the virus that could potentially eradicate around the world. Developing successful solutions for Ebola required proper up to date vaccinations, induced travel bans, and isolation from others.
