Okay now lets talk about Ebola. There are nearly 6000 people infected now and the number is rising as we speak. It originated from the Ebola river and that's how it got it's name.Scientists say that animals had it first but they gave it to people who came in contact with their blood or bodily fluids. The symptoms of this are fever, muscle aches, weakness, sore throat, and headache followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and internal bleeding. They say there have been a number of outbreaks since 1976 but if it has been around for that long then why don't we have a cure yet. I think I share the same view as other people when I say that I am kinda scared it will infect america. I mean Americans are dirty and lazy this virus could spread and we could have a pandemic on our hands. There are reported cases of Americans getting the virus, "One of the Americans died, but the other two aid workers were flown to the CDC for treatment" (Bennett 1). We really shouldn't worry much about it though because it is more likely to spread in poor countries with no clean water or proper health care system. I think that we should get every one we can to get involved in this. This virus needs stomped out. And I think that the more countries you involve the faster it can happen.
