Well, the next idea is not found in any one single app or found on any one particular website. But emerging outbreaks, where to go in a specific country, what languages they understand, where to get an interpreter that is medically certified in the country in which you’re exploring.
What your symptoms are, etc. For example, the Ebola virus can be deadly if your immune and lymphatic system are compromised. Knowing what countries that is currently found in and predicted countries, the rate of infection and of course, knowledge of where to go if, in Africa for example.
The best places to go, if you can get into the country, assuming you’re not quarantined in the country, is seek help from people in South Africa, they’re medical staff is head and shoulders above the rest of the countries there. The two other countries would be Morocco and Egypt.
Now, I am not trying to scare you, Steph or your readers but it’s good to know your options and practice getting there app wise so you know what to do in case of an emergency. It’s good to know it and be second nature before you’re panicking and in survival mode, already infected.
Really great thoughts Alex. I agree!
