Hoax about the ongoing Ebola outbreak recently cause panic after one man inside a passenger plane claims to have acquired a disease, while other news suggests that the virus can contribute to the feared zombie apocalypse.
A recent report says that an American passenger flying from Philadelphia to Dominican Republic began to scare the public when he obviously shows early signs and symptoms of the deadly disease. The unnamed passenger reportedly started to cough and sneeze throughout his journey and later on started yelling that he is infected with the disease. The situation which has already caused panic to the other 255 passengers on board, then prompted the officials to force the passenger to leave the aircraft.
Officers dressed in a protective suit reportedly escorted the passenger to leave the plane while flight attendants tend to calm the other people on board. Although the said situation turned out to be a hoax, many of the other passengers, especially those who were near the man are fear-stricken that they might have contacted the Ebola virus.
The passenger was detained at the Punta Cana International Airport where he was thoroughly assessed. After a series of interviews and extensive medical checks, authorities were able to figure out that the man does not have Ebola and everything was just a hoax. Authorities also claim that the man did it to gain attention.
The recent news about other people trying to make stories regarding the deadly disease is no longer the first time. Previous reports have actually suggested that two of the dead victims in Africa have been resurrected leading to the contribution of zombie stories in town. The women were allegedly brought back to life before they were even buried.
More than 4,000 people have already died from the Ebola virus while health officials still predict that it could further increase. Although the zombie stories are not yet confirmed to be real, many believe that it is just a hoax which tend to bring fear to many people.
