Learning about Ebola

I have learned quite a bit of things with this Ebola project. I found out that the main strategy that our class discovered was to get rid of Ebola by quarantining the people that have it till they no longer have it or have died from it. I think that there are many other ways that are better and that the government is preparing a strategy incase an outbreak were to happen in the United States. I never knew that the Ebola virus started from the fruit bat and that it can spread from many different animals. I also did not know that Ebola has been around Africa for a long time, and wonder why it all of a sudden broke out. I do not think that Ebola will break out in the United States and I think in the next couple of years that Ebola will be controlled and almost gone. I think that it spread quickly in West Africa, because they are a third world country and do not have as good of a health and medical care as other countries. If they did have better care I think that they would have contained it before it did break out.

Globalization and Ebola

Ebola is a major virus that is affecting the world. It is even affect countries that do not have any sight of the Ebola virus in their country. Most people do not realize that the chances of getting the Ebola virus is extremely slim, unless you are in West Africa. Many people in the world are preparing for the outbreak in their country. They are buying hazmat suits to protect them from getting the Ebola virus. Although it is a good thing for all countries to know about this disease and to start taking precautions, like screening people that are coming into the country. The countries government does need to tell people not to worry a lot about this, so people do not get to worked up and take thing to an extreme measure. The people do need to know what the symptoms are of this virus, so if they were to get it they would know and be able to get medical attention right away. Since a cure for this virus has not yet been made countries have to get together and figure out a cure to stop this disease, in case it were to spread and break out in other countries.
