Aid for west Africa

           The Ebola outbreak has been ongoing for a while now, and there has not been any sign of cases in Canada. If Canada does get a case or two we are not to panic. Canada is ready for the outbreak. "Canadian and U.S. health officials stressed that the risk to the public is low, given that health systems in North America include clean water, protective equipment such as masks, gowns and gloves that are in short supply in West Africa." Our hospitals all over Canada are ready to take action whenever that action is needed, or if ever.  

            Canadians have the urge to help west Africa in the act to save the country from the outbreak. The one problem we have is that we have the aids to help but no transportation for the aids, such as medication, protective clothing, and clean water. Several commercial airlines have denied the request to transport these aids, due to the protecting the other passengers aboard. Most of the aid arrives by sea. Transportation by sea is very slow, by the time the aid arrives the virus has killed several more. West Africa needs volunteers and aid, they cannot fight the outbreak alone.
