Africa is a Continent – not a country!
With the Ebola virus dominating the global press I thought I would share this article from the Washington Post about the geography of Africa. It is far too easy to refer to Africa as if it is a country, I even find myself doing this sometimes and I live in Kenya!
The media jump on anything new and make out it is the next black death. The panic and fear they create is ridiculous. More people die every year in the UK from flu than have died from Ebola worldwide. The media need to apply a bit of perspective to their reports but it won’t happen as facts are boring!
BTW it is a good article.
