Mahershala points out in the video that in some parts of West Africa, only two out of every 10 patients infected with Ebola have survived.
Without access to the same resources as Americans — such as I.V. fluids, electrolytes, food, fully-equipped modern hospitals, well-trained medical professionals — chances of survival are immensely reduced.
All eight Americans who had contracted Ebola and received treatment in US hospitals survived.
That makes the survival rate in America 100 per cent, as compared to the 20 per cent in West Africa.
Moore says: “Ebola is not a death sentence.”
“What would happen if you got Ebola?” Josh Hutcherson asks Jennifer Lawrence in the video.
After a brief pause, she responds: “I’d be fine.”
“You have a lot of doctors,” Hutcherson then points out in the clip.
