 Welcome once again to the breakfast here on Plus TV Africa. Now let's go back in history just before I'm first major conversation for today. I'm sharing with you about the first person in the United States that was diagnosed with Ebola virus. And that person died on this day on the 8th of October in 2014. His name, Thomas Eric Duncan. It was the first person diagnosed with Ebola virus in the US and he was aged 42. He died at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Shortly before his death, Duncan, who lived in Liberia, travelled to America from West Africa. After he passed away, rather, in the US, two nurses who cared for him at the Dallas hospital also contracted Ebola. However, both of them survived. Duncan's diagnosis sparked anxiety and fear about the Ebola virus across the US at the time and there were no proven treatments of vaccines for the disease at that time. Four days later, a second nurse at the hospital was confirmed also to have contracted the disease and both of them, of course, were isolated and did eventually survive. A total of two people did die in the US during the 2014 outbreak. And of course you remember Nigeria's story with the Ebola virus also and of course the way that the government at that time was able to successfully handle the breakout of that virus. So, you know, with a person from Liberia who visited Nigeria and was held, you know, and prevented from spreading the disease by Dr. Stella Dadevul back then in 2014. It's still a very, very interesting story. Sadly, we still did lose, you know, a couple of lives here in Nigeria. But in the US, two people died and one of them was Thomas Eric Duncan, who was, of course, from Liberia and visited the United States with the first person who died in the United States from the Ebola virus. And that's what we have for you today in history, the 8th of October 2014. We'll take a short break and when we come back, our first major conversation for today we're going to be talking about the 2022 budget, 16.39 trillion lira with more than 6 trillion lira in deficit. We'll be talking about that this morning with our guest after this break. Stay with us.
