More than one million people, mostly children under the age of five, die every year from malaria. I agree with Flayer in that this whole ebola event is a non event. If you look at it in context it is a mere burp in the flow of everyday life. Malaria kills millions every year and yet is a totally curable disease. One African flies to Texas and dies and its a media circus. Instead of wasting the millions of dollars that will now go down the toilet on ebola related expenses in the USA send a million doses of Malaria treatment to Africa and make a real impact on human life. More than one million people, mostly children under the age of five, die every year from malaria. Malarial deaths in Africa alone account for 90 percent of all malaria deaths worldwide. Eighty percent of these victims are African children. The U.N. Millennium Project has calculated that a child in Africa dies from malaria every 30 seconds, or about 3,000 each day.
