The graphical estimate of Ebola outbreak
It has been graphically highlighted that the Ebola virus disease which is ravaging most of the West African countries as well as some states in the US started back in 2013 in a town called Guéckédou, which is a forest area of Guinea located very close to the border of Liberia and Sierra Leone. At this point, the pilgrims that go through this path got infested with this deadly disease, because in late March, Liberia was reported to have 8-cases of Ebola, while Sierra Leone was having 6-cases.
And by the end of June, about 759 persons had already become victims to this epidemic , while 467 of the reported victims had died, which then makes it the worst ever Ebola outbreak. Uptill date the number has seem to be on the increase, leading to many deaths that amounts to 5,459 out of the 15,351 reported cases of the disease around the world as at the 18th of November, 2014.
