Ebola Virus
When
I heard the news that they were flying a patient with the Ebola Virus
to the U.S. for treatment, my first thought was is the U.S.
government putting Americans in danger. I got on the internet and
looked up what the Ebola Virus was and how it was transmitted. After
reading all the information it put me a little at ease. What I don’t
get is that the two Americans Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Whitebol who
contracted the Ebola Virus, knew how the Ebola Virus was transmitted.
How come they did not take the necessary precautions or did they and
they still contracted the virus? Is the U.S. Center for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) really telling us the truth on how the
Ebola Virus is transmitted or are they just speculating? I was
watching the news this morning they were showing footage of an
ambulance and two people in contamination suits one was said to be
Dr. Kent Brantly when he arrived at Emory University Hospital in
Atlanta on August 2, 2014. He walked from the ambulance with help.
Dr. Kent Brantly was given some serum that was flown over to Liberia
Africa. Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) said "It's encouraging that he
seems to be improving - that's really important - and we're hoping
he'll continue to improve." I hope this is serum is the cure.
The people in Liberia, Africa need it desperately. We will see in the
days to come.
