Ebola Disease

Recently, the Ebola disease was found in the U.S. down in Texas. A man from Liberia came to the U.S. after going to Liberia was screened but did not show symptoms of the virus. After he realized that he had the disease, he went to the hospital, and was treated for being sick, but he did live through it. Investigators have said that they tested everyone that he could have interacted with, and did not find anyone with the disease. However, two nurses that were treating him in the hospital did get the sick. So, now there are two people sick with the Ebola virus. One of the nurses, Nina Pham, was treated in the Texas hospital for some time, and then they decided to move her to the National Institute of Health so that they can try to save her. The other nurse, Amber Vinson is now being questioned because they think that she could have been sick earlier than before.


I think that in a situation like Ebola, the solution is very clear. Everyone who has had contact with the Ebola virus should not move one step out of their houses or the hospital. This is a very serious situation, and people are dealing with the disease, and then going on vacation. I cannot believe how dumb these people are. If I was in charge, I basically take away the freedom of the people who are sick, and put them in hospital “jail”, for a WHOLE MONTH. There is no need to worry about exactly when the patient maybe was in contact. Just stop the problem by any possible.
