Ebola Outbreak in Congo by Victoria Valdez

It has been confirmed that 3 people have died from Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  It all started when a 45-year-old man became sick and got in a taxi to go to the hospital.  The taxi driver and the person that cared for the man in the hospital have both died.  There are several other cases that are being looked at to see if there is a relation.

An Ebola outbreak is scary and can get out of hand very quickly and it is imperative that they get patients sequestered.  This disease kills so quickly and out of blue that it is scary and can lead to hundreds or thousands of death starting with just one person contracting it.  It is my hope that they find a cure for this illness.
