Ebola Tragedy: Reagan Leslie
The Ebola tragedy in America continues! A doctor from Dallas, Texas treated a patient for Ebola last month who went to the hospital again on Saturday and tested negative for the virus and has been removed from isolation. Dr. Richard Sacra from Liberia, caught Ebola and was successfully treated in a hospital in Nebraska, was taken to a hospital again Saturday with a high fever and cough. The people at the hospital claimed that he didn't have Ebola, but they didn't want to take any risks. Dr. Richard was being treated in an ICU until Sunday. During his treatment, Richard Sacra, who is 51, was give two blood transfusions of blood serum from an Ebola survivor. He was pronounced virus-free and was released from Nebraska Medical Center Sept. 25.

I think that this whole Ebola-coming-to-America thing is sad, but thankfully not all people are dying from it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, America is a lot more advanced medically than Africa, so we shouldn't really be worried about ourselves in regards to the Ebola virus; we should be more worried about helping the people in Africa.
