The Ebola scare is still on the rise despite the technology and advanced medical field that have had success fighting the virus off. Many people in the United States fear Ebola and consider it one of the countries biggest problems. President Obama has contradicted him self by attempting to cover up fear of the virus however at the same time creating a sense of fear. The president decided to appoint an Ebola czar, someone who's only job is to monitor the disease, stressing the public out as this seems to be a statement that the country should be concerned. At the same time Obama is taking pictures and coming into contact with those who could potentially have the disease. Obama also does not believe in quarantining people for 21 days directly off of their flight, in an airport. The president needs to make his intentions clear and provide a worried nation with answers.
The cartoon above is showing the opinion of those who believe all the hype is too much. The cartoon is indicating that there are many more problems then Ebola, destroying our country currently. Obesity tobacco and alcohol kill Americans on a daily basis and this is ignored. The cartoonist is saying we should focus more on fixing these more immediate problems as appose to focusing all of the attention on a disease rarely found in our country.The cartoon makes fun of the people so worried about the disease as well as the ignorance of Americans as a group. I do believe Ebola should be a concern of our country however should be placed on a long list of them, and may be receiving more attention then necessary.
