Ebola Exterminates African Citizens

The geographic themes of region and place prove that geography is destiny in West Africa because there is very little resources that are available to those infected with Ebola. Geography is destiny because the themes of Region and place show that if you are born in West Africa, then there is a good possibility that you will contract Ebola and you may die.

The theme region of geography shows that if you contract Ebola you may die because there is not many resources at the disposal of the West African hospitals, clinics, and isolation units. The only place in the world in which you can contract Ebola is West Africa. According to New Thinking About Ebola Treatment by The New York Times, at this time no approved drugs to treat Ebola exist. Therefore, this proves that being infected by Ebola, which you can only do if you were in one of the five countries that have Ebola infections, is very deadly and is almost destiny to contract if you were born in West Africa.

The theme of geography called place shows that if you live or have visited Senegal, Liberia, Nigeria, Guenia, or Sierre Leone you can catch Ebola. Nowhere else in the world can infect you. If you visited there and were infected, thats your fault, but if you were born there and didn’t have the economic stability or ability to move out of said country, then it was almost destiny for you to catch the disease. In the article Obama Commits ‘Military Assets’ for Ebola Health Care Surge, President Barack Obama states, “Let’s give some public health aid to countries like Liberia so that they can set up hospitals and nurses and vaccinations, et cetera.” This proves that undeveloped countries such as Liberia doesn’t have the resources or money to pay for treatment necessities, and if you were born there and came down with the disastrous disease, you don’t have much of a chance to survive. Its destiny that if you were born in an undeveloped country that you will die because of the current conditions in that country.
