Answer:
The impact was staggering. Entire extended families were wiped out, as people cared for relatives, or washed their corpses, as per custom. Villages and towns were emptied, the capitals became ghost towns as governments urged people to stay in their homes, to not touch other people. What semblance there was of healthy economies in the countries was demolished. Hysteria flared in various predictable ways. One extreme was to deny the existence of the disease, insist it was a hoax—some quarantine centers were ransacked by crowds intent on “liberating” their relatives, burial teams were attacked when they came for bodies. Other forms took shunning, ostracizing, even brutally driving out virus-free survivors. And naturally, suspicion and fear of the disease prompted various shoot-the-messenger scenarios; in a machete-the-messenger variant, eight aid workers were hacked to death in a village in Guinea.
