60 Days (Blog #3)

The UN World Health Organization (WHO) has released a statement that if Ebola is not under control in the 60 days it may become an unprecedented situation that we don't have a plan for. 70% of the infected must be hospitalized and 70% of victims must be properly buried in order for this outbreak to be manageable. There have been a reported 8,376 cases and 4,024 deaths from Ebola. Everyday the number of the infected increases. This is very scary. Right now, Ebola is something that we should be concerned about but it's not something that everyone is very fearful of here in the United States. We are still pretty safe and protected. Now, however, we are racing against Ebola and as the head of the UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response said, "Ebola got a head start on us. It is far ahead of us, it is running faster than us, and it is winning the race." This cartoon I found displays how we are losing the race against Ebola right now and we need to catch up before it's too late.
