In September of 2014, news of the Ebola virus in Texas, US made headlines all around the country. For many, it was the first time hearing about this deadly disease, but this isn’t the first time Ebola was in the United States. Crazy right? Pigs poultry and aquatic birds seem like harmless animals- that is until you take a closer look because they are a natural reservoir for many deadly viruses such as SARS. It might be easy to kill off infected populations of animals to control the spread of the virus, but what if the infected populations were worth millions, such as camels who carry MERS? Tune in this week to hear Elsa and RIya talk more about SARS, MERS and how the brave actions of one saved the lives of countless others. 🚨Disclaimer: Elsa and Riya are not licensed medical professionals and therefore all things discussed in this episode, as well as past and future episodes, are for the purpose of entertainment only. 🚨
