  • If interventions don't start working soon, as many as 1.4 million people could be infected by Jan. 20, the agency reported in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
  • But the data have revealed another problem: "Our great concern is this will be an epidemic that lasts for several years," he says. The epidemic has hit such a size — and become so widespread geographically — that Ebola could become a permanent presence in West Africa. If that happens, there would be a constant threat that Ebola could spread to other parts of the world.

    The theme of mobility is presented as the outbreak of Ebola causes the country of Senegal to close its borders with Guinea. This deadly and highly contagious disease has diffused throughout the population in Senegal and other countries. The pandemic has caused worldwide fear. Will closing the borders really be effective in blocking the spread of Ebola? Is Ebola able to be cured and, if not, are we trying to find a cure?

  • The man’s ability to board an international flight raised new fears that other passengers could carry the disease beyond Africa because of weak passenger inspection and the fact that Ebola’s initial symptoms can resemble those of other illnesses.
  • “Now the disease has been introduced into the big urban areas with millions of people,” he said. “In the big cities, people can get on an airplane and fly out.”

    How do disease outbreaks spread from one country to another? How do epidemics impact a country's/region's development? How is population and migration impacted by epidemics such as the ebola outbreak?

    With the Ebola outbreak in western Africa, people are hesitant, or even prohibited from traveling to effected areas. How will this change the culture of this region and how they live?

    Myths about Ebola are quickly spreading thanks to globalization and the connections that make it up. Information, whether it be correct or not, is disseminating quickly through diffusion. While it is informing people of the problem, it is also causing fear in many. How can we utilize the power of modern-day technology and the speed at which ideas spread to help limit the amount of false information shared and ensure that the right information reaches those who need it?

    Many countries, like Liberia, are closing borders to keep out and contain the Ebola virus forcing people to move and travel away from the country. How does this relate to the theme of mobility in human geography?

    Good question, Adam. What kind of diffusion might disease be considered in this context?
