When you look deaths from communicable diseases, what differences exist between low and high-income countries? what do you think are the reasons for these differences?

Communicable diseases are diseases which are spread from one person to another via the air, water or physical contact. Definable differences exist between low and high-income countries.  People who live in high-income countries have access to better health care facilities, as well as access to better nutrition. A good example of how communicable diseases spread faster in low-income countries is the latest outbreak of Ebola in Africa. People died in their thousands in Africa. When American or European citizens contracted Ebola they were flown home, placed in isolation units in hospitals and given the best medical care possible. As a result, Ebola did not spread to the general population in America or Europe in the same way it spread rampantly across several North Western African countries.
