Deadly Strain Of Ebola On The Rise, Are You Prepared For A Pandemic?

Recent news stories have confirmed that the deadly Zaire strain of the Ebola virus has claimed 78 deaths out of 122 suspected cases in the areas surrounding Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, causing authorities to close all border crossings “until further notice”.

The Zaire strain was first discovered 38 years ago in the Republic of Congo and is known as the most deadly form of Ebola ever discovered. This particular outbreak has the highest mortality rate ever reported.

This particular strain can be transmitted to humans by humans and animals through contact with blood or bodily fluids. It can also be contracted by unprotected handling of infected corpses.

Authorities have confirmed that this virus “kills faster than it spreads”

ZOMG! THE SH*T HAS HIT THE FAN!!!!

….right?

Pandemic outbreaks are nothing to laugh about. Out of all the hyped-up, Hollywood apocalypse scenarios, a global pandemic with a high transmittal and mortality rate is actually the most realistic SHTF scenario there is. Some authorities say that the question of a deadly global pandemic isn’t a matter of “if” it’s a matter of “when”.

With that being said, no I’m not about to pitch you on some expensive pandemic survival kit or try to get you out in the streets holding up “The End is Near!” signs.

In fact, this particular strain of Ebola is of little concern to most of the world. The infected areas have been quarantined, and most importantly, the mortality rate of this strain is so high that the victims actually have very little time to spread the virus before it kills them. The chances of this particular virus spreading outside these areas are virtually none.

These kinds of reports are becoming more and more common every year. Combined with continued reports of new influenza strains and other deadly viral outbreaks in other areas of the world, a global pandemic could very well become a reality in our lifetime, even though the chances are still quite slim.

So, what can we do to prepare for something that could actually have the capability to bring all our apocalyptic nightmares to fruition? READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE
