Newly Revised 1-22-2015 with a lot of new pertinent information. The Ebola outbreak that began in December 2013 has garnered the concern of the global community. There have been many questions about this disease as the numbers of cases and death tolls continue to rise. Many rumors have surfaced and there are those profiting on the sale of protective equipment by amplifying those aspects about the disease and its sequences of events that cause fear.
