There is a simple selfish reason to help. It is called epidemic because it is contagious.
- duxup 7y agoI think we should help. Having said that, as it stands now Ebola isn't much of a threat in the first world. Ebola isn't very contagious in a first world environment and would be dealt with fairly quickly.
- b_tterc_p 7y agoCan you elaborate on how it does not spread in the first world?
- duxup 7y agoFor the most part Ebola requires physical contact to spread, even then often requires contact with bodily fluids. It also doesn't last long on surfaces. First world hygiene and the traditional manner we handle dead bodies (or animals for that matter) and most any hospital could handle basic treatment and a quarantine would be more than sufficient to deal with it.
