How this exam may spread Ebola on campus| FPI

The grief and sighs of examination could be terrible, but the thought of Ebola could be worse.

I had to sqeeze a semi-hour from my study time to put this together. But contrary to premonitions and expectations, this week's article has no dwelling on the Union government, hence, brethrens may put away their swords and carving knives. Apologies for the disappointment tho.

Ebola has come to town. It could be lurkiing on the palm of the friend you had just shaken. It might have been sitting all along on the ruler or calculator you just borrowed from the nearest stranger. That lecturer could apparently be dishing it alongside the question paper. That stern looking man may have droped it off when he mannerlessly grab your identity card at the gate. It could be waiting on the neck of that colleague you just hugged. Even that mesmerisingly beautiful omo-pupa sitting next to you could probably be a potential Ebola distributor.

In this exam period, students are most vulnerable and susceptable to contracting this deadly virus. Of course, as long as we ignorantly keep our saveguard open, plain and bear.
I was quite hopeful that either the polytechnic management or the SUG or some health related society would take time and do some mass sensitization on campus prior to the commencement of examination when a lot of body contact would be most unavoidable. But I had thought wrong. Now I think the SUG welfare director: Gabriel Douglas, a charming acquittance of mine would take this as a welcome challenge.

Ebola could be trasmitted in the most casual way. And as we trod out for exam tomorrow; Ebola would naturally also be on the onlook out for a comfortable abode.

We can recall how students are crammed into classes, especially those closely packed AJ, AH, AF and AE classes where elbow knock each other and body fluids are married. Ebola abides largely on the outter skin layer and when an infected person makes even a slight contact with whoever, the virus is donated without your volition! We can also recall how students are jammed and squeez into the shuttle buses. The bad new tho, aside the obvious that body contacts is a certainty, Ebola trives in some relatively high temperate conditions. This explains why some researchers are of the opinion that ebola might be relatively airborne. So when next you are stock inside the shuttle bus, be sure to refine the air you breath.

Also students often subconsciously put everything in their mouth when under pressure. Owing to anxiousness we hold calculator, pen, ruler and almost evetything; borrowed or owned in between our lips, while some would religious chew the tail of their pen when in distressed or confused. You may just be chewing up some Ebola you know.

These and several tendencies should be checkmated to ensure that the possibility of patronising the Ebola virus is absolutely minimal. Constant sterilization of our hands and bodies is perhaps easiest excape route at this juncture.

Needless to say, until a person has been dully diagonosed with Ebola virus we are at liberty to maintain the usual compliments and gestures of time past. This article does not by any measure promote stigmatization, but considering the very ordinary way at which it can be trasmitted, a wise man would employ the necessary precautions.
