The ebola virus was  potentially the biggest calamity to come along since AIDS which has cost over 35 million lives in the past 3 decades.  

The first recorded swine flu influenza pandemic occurred in 1918 and killed an approximate 50-100 million worldwide. The more recent one was responsible for 1,000,s but not millions of deaths. One can deduce the difference being largely due to advances in medical care and modern drug treatments.

10 Recommendations for a Great Dental Holiday in Asia: 

1. If you  want  a good price quote before heading off  to  visit a  dentist in Manila or Bangkok  -  email  a  copy  of  your  dentist's  treatment   plan,  normal x-rays  or  panoramic  (if  available)  to   the  dentist  in Asia.  Better yet, send them to the Board Certified Asia Dental Association and let them find a certified dentist in your planned dental vacation destination who meets your requirements. 

The  more  information  the  dentist  has,  the  more accurate quote he can make.   Photos of  your teeth are  almost  as  good  as a  clinical analysis.   If none of the above are possible - don't  worry, x-rays  (except panoramic x-rays)   are  gratis  at  most  Association  member clinics. Panoramic x-rays for dental implants  are only  $35us  in many clinics in Manila or Bangkok.
