This week the current event I chose to look at is called “Fighting the Deadly disease of Ebola“. This article is from the website Newsela and was published on October 14th 2014. It is about how the disease, Ebola should and could be stopped. Scientists say two different things, one says that:

“at least half of all ill patients would need to be isolated. They would need to be kept separate from other people at hospitals, or other places.”

The other opinion is that,

“even more people need to be isolated. Based on its math, it says seven out of 10 patients with the disease must be isolated.”

Either way if these sick patients should be isolated so they don’t spread the awful disease to other healthily people. The last time that there was an Ebola outbreak it was in a less populated area of Africa therefore it didn’t spread as easily as it does this time. There have already been 7,178 cases of this disease and 3,338 people have died. Something can be done to contain this horrible disease, but we have to work to get there.

I think that this outbreak is devastating and something should be done as soon as possible. My classmate Dani thinks that, “They should actually try to work harder to get the cure.” The author seems to not have a bias, but to just state the facts as they are.
