Dramatic moment desperate Ebola escapee dragged back into quarantine truck
Video link below: This shocking footage shows the moment a man believed to be suffering from Ebola jumps from the back of a moving truck in an apparent escape bid. He is then filmed being thrown back in to the vehicle by men wearing protective suits. The footage, broadcast by Sky News, was captured in West Africa which is currently in the grip of an Ebola epidemic. The deadly disease has claimed the lives of more than 1,200 people since the outbreak began. The World Health Organisation has warned as many as 20,000 people could be infected before the outbreak is over. Hero nurse Will Pooley was Britain's first known case of the disease, after working with Ebola patients in Sierra Leone. The deadly virus is believed to be caused by wild animals (specifically fruit bats) coming into contact with humans. Outbreaks of Ebola have a 90% fatality rate and there is no known vaccine or treatment. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/dramatic-moment-desperate-ebola-escapee-4151842 |
