Ebola is a very deadly disease. It can kill by causing internal and external bleeding, it can also shut down the liver and kidneys. It usually takes between 3-21 days to see symptoms. It can kill within 6-16 days. It is going to be a very difficult task to try and stop the spread of the disease. Currently there are 9,000+ cases reported and 4,500+ reported dead in West Africa. The 2014 outbreak is the largest ever seen. In the U.S. there have been 3 reported cases of the Ebola and 1 death. The man responsible for bringing the virus to the U.S. is Thomas Eric Duncan. He was traveling from Liberia to the United States, he was also the first to die. There is no cure currently and probably won’t be until at least 2016. The CDC said that they would need to isolate at least 50% of the infected and that won’t stop the virus , but it would buy time to help create a vaccine.

The author who wrote this article was un-biased. My friend Toby’s opinion on this article is “It was Thomas Eric Duncan’s fault for the two cases of Ebola in Dallas. He lied right to the doctors face, and he lied about where he was coming from. We need to contain Ebola before all of Africa is effected by this virus.”
