Ebola spread partly caused by collapsing Infrastructure in Western African Nations

Though the U.S. went through the Great Recession and Europe is going through an echo of that as well, what happened in Western Africa since around 2008 is a pretty serious collapse of their infrastructure to where they did not have money or equipment to fight Ebola when it arrived. This meant that nurses and doctors did not have protective equipment and when they got sick from Ebola because of not enough equipment this also caused the spread of the disease. So, there are many factors in the spread of this the number one this time being simply poverty and unprepared hospital structures infrastructure wise.

Since this model could be repeated around the world because all economies (except for maybe China) are not doing as well as they used to be doing generally speaking, a worldwide pandemic therefore the world is not prepared for especially in places like Western Africa and other places like this.
