Ebola and the possibility of widespread pandemic
by Kiley Robison
1. The Overall issue is the spreading of the disease.
2. The reason it is the overall issue is because now the disease is spreading to other people. As said on www.who.int., this outbreak of Ebola. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/
3. One of the areas of of the issue is when the disease was first spread in Dallas, Texas.
4. This in an area of the issue because ever since that day people have gone into panic and the disease began to spread more since they were unaware. http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/united-states-imported-case.html
5. The problems need to be addressed because the disease keeps spreading to more people.
6. The problem is important because if the disease keeps spreading than more and more Americans will get the disease. As said on www.reuters.com just the people that were around the infected patient are at risk of getting Ebola. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/21/us-health-ebola-usa-idUSKCN0I919B20141021
7. A product we can make to help the problem is to make a vaccine.
8. A vaccine would help the problem because it could cure the people who have it and prevent others from getting it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/as-researchers-develop-ebola-vaccine-early-human-clinical-trials-show-promise/2014/10/22/7d3e0978-58a7-11e4-bd61-346aee66ba29_story.htmlhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/as-researchers-develop-ebola-vaccine-early-human-clinical-trials-show-promise/2014/10/22/7d3e0978-58a7-11e4-bd61-346aee66ba29_story.html
9. Some of the resources that we have here like more advanced technology, more experienced doctors, and cleaner hospital aren't available somewhere like in West Africa where the disease came from.
10. The United States having better resources helps us control Ebola, while it continues to spread and infect more people in West Africa. http://www.businessinsider.com/ebola-virus-in-us-dallas-dont-panic-2014-9
