Beware: Deadly disease HOWLING in front of your doorstep

We are sorry to announce another bad news for Pakistanis. It’s been quite some time that Dr. Beth Bell (Director of CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases) has been continually asking United Nations for collecting funds to deal with a deadly virus call ‘eBola’. It was very necessary to take strong preventive measures when the reports already proclaim the seriousness of un-pleasant state of affairs. According to initial reports, six hundred million dollars were required to tackle the virus but due to the negligence this swiftly growing virus has reached many countries by now.

According to recent updates, Tasavvur Hussain from Chakwal, Zulfiqar Ahmed from Chiniot and Muhammad Haroon from Karachi is first victim of eBola’s from Pakistan. They all are under observation in different hospitals. Unfortunately this noxious virus will soon gulp the happiness of above mentioned three families and there is NO doubt about it but the more bloodcurdling part is out of sight and that is “WHO is next”? You, me or one of our LOVED ones?
