What is Ebola? Ebola is a virus outbreak that started in West Africa and has infected 6,000 people in places around it. Ebola was first found in Sudan and Congo in 1976. How is this virus starting again after so many years? Scientists say they think the virus has spread by humans who had contact with animals bodily fluids or blood such as bats, monkeys, gorillas, etc..Seriously, this is the craziest thing I have ever heard. How in the heck did these kind of animals get this virus? Why would these people be in contact with wild animals bodily fluids? The Center for Disease Control thinks by early next year the virus outbreak could reach to 1.4 million cases.. this is an outrageous amount, why don’t they do something to try to prevent it from spreading like this? The symptoms start out as flu like symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, weakness, sore throat, and headaches. Some people can even start bleeding in the internal organs..Supposedly this virus is not contagious like cold and flu symptoms, and can only be spread by people from direct contact of bodily fluid.. I do not believe that one bit, if this virus is spreading as fast as they say than it has to be contagious. So really how hard is it to catch Ebola? Many Americans are worried that the outbreak could happen in the United States. “President Obama reassured the public at a recent new conference that the chances of this happening “are extremely low” (Bennett 1). He is so full of crap, there has already been an outbreak reported in West Virginia, so he does not know what he is talking about, he never does. Three American doctors working in Liberia were infected in July with it. They were over there trying to help with people infected with the virus. I think we need to stop sending our American people to other countries. They probably carried this virus back to the United States with them. Obama just needs to keep his nose out of the problems that are occurring in other countries that don’t pertain us.
