Ebola control Blog 3

Ebola, a once unknown disease until recently has America and the rest of the world running in fear. As we know the origin of the disease is Africa supposedly found in bats. The bats have bitten animals which are then consumed by the people of Africa spreading the disease then from human to human. The affect of the disease has gotten progressively worse and has began to cross borders, spreading to other countries creating a state of pandemonium. Africa does not have the technology or ability to treat Ebola patients and the country seems helpless. The major question remains, how do we go about handling this monstrous disease, treating it in its root or simply blocking it out of the united states?

As depicted in the cartoon the virus has always existed but recently "rose from the dead". The man labeled disease control has a shovel in his hand indicated he has not done his job of controlling the disease, rather has aiding in the disease coming back to life. Sweat drips off his suit showing fear, showing that the disease is beating the disease control hence the disease spreading. It seems like a good idea to keep the disease from spreading would be to block all people from Africa from entering the country, however this is not a logical approach. For this to be done all airports would need to be shutdown for months, holding back world economy's. A better idea would be going and treating the disease at its root. This will save many lives and stop the spread of the disease. If it stops spreading in Africa, it cant make it to other countries. As Obama said "we need to treat the disease with a more aggressive approach."
