Current Events 10/12- Case Cockrell

http://news.yahoo.com/nigeria-confirms-doctor-2nd-ebola-case-130256816.html;_ylt=A0LEVz9AGjtUHzwA4CNXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzczFmMXZ1BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1ZJUDQyNF8x

The 2nd case of the ebola virus has been confirmed in the US. The person who had the virus first, Thomas Duncan, passed away recently from the virus. This virus is clearly deadly and we are trying to prevent it from going viral. There has been over 700 cases in the middle east, and an ebola patient somehow made its way to Texas. Causing ebola to come to the US. The virus is in a contained stae right now. But, a slight mistake could make it go viral.

My analysis on this is that people with diseases that need to be contained should not be allowed to travel, they could put many people at risk. We have already lost one person to ebola, this could escalate  to thousands if its not contained properly. Having a sanitary lifestyle is important in this situation. We need to be cautious until a vaccine is found or this no more ebola cases left.
