Don't Panic Be Worry!!

In an article by Alexandra Petri about Ebola found it way into America and that the government and medical experts tell everyone to stay calm, I feel Petri is wanting everyone to drop everything and hide. She doesn’t really have any other information to back up what she is saying and only want to scared people more than what the news is already doing. Ebola is dangerous if you get the viruses, but many scientist are working on a vaccine/ cure for it. We also have two doctor that caught the viruses in Africa and recovered using the newly developed vaccine and therapy. Ebola can only spread through body fluid, blood, secretions or organs, so unless you’re taking care of the Ebola patients there is a very small chance you will get into contact with it. And those patients are isolate from other people, unlike in Africa where there is a big outbreak of Ebola, America have better equipment, hospital including excellent doctors and nurses working around the clock. Not to mention we’re much cleaner than Africa. Areas that have the biggest outbreak in Africa is where they don’t have clean water or any type of sewage system, so dead animals that might have carry the virus just lay there in the open rotten and people walk by barefoot stepping on fluids coming out of the animals. That’s why there are billions of people caught it in Africa, compare to our standard of living and their. More than half of the countries in Africa live in poverty, and now look at America. Getting panic and scared will not do us any good, panicking is not going to keep us from the virus. You can be worry, and be extra careful when you get into contact with any body fluid from a sick person. But other than that most of us is not scientists nor doctors, we can only hope scientists will contain it and find a cure for it. Try not to hide under your bed.
