Alert: Lassa Fever Proving More Dangerous Than Ebola Yet We Act Like Its Nothing by jetolu(m): 10:35am On Jan 20, 2016
The Lassa Fever have claimed more lives than Ebola in Nigeria within a very short time yet people still go about their businesses like nothing is happening. Is it because the western world created so much alert on Ebola that it became a monster? As it appears, if Ebola is a monster then Lassa Fever is its Daddy.

The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, says the Lassa fever epidemic has claimed 63 lives out of 212 reported from 62 local government areas in affected states. Speaking ‎at the emergency National Council of Health meeting in Abuja yesterday January 19th, The Minister listed the 17 affected states as Bauchi, Niger, Taraba, Kano, Rivers, Oyo, Ondo, Edo, Plateau, Gombe, Nasarawa, Lagos, Delta, Ekiti, Ebonyi, Zamfara, Kogi as well as the FCT.
