Being that you have no control over your actions, movements become "zombie" like causing your body to automatically set itself in distruction mode. It only takes hours for the disease to cause death. Being said there have been no treatments found to subside the symptoms of Ebola, as well as to stop internal bleeding.

Yellow Fever
Yellow Fever is spread many ways and has a huge effect on people. The social impact of Yellow Fever includes the infected people will somewhat get shunned. They will not be able to interact as they once did with other people before contracting the infection. Due to the symptoms, which in some cases can be severe, most people choose to protect themselves from Yellow Fever by avoiding infected people. Another way of transmission is through the rainforest. Therefore, many stay away from these areas because mosquitoes thrive in humid and rainy conditions. Monkeys, who are also found in the rainforests, help spread this disease. This also contributes to many African people staying isolated and within their uninfected villages.
