Ebola's threat to America (Blog3)

   Those unfamiliar with Ebola, it is a virus that is spread from contact with body fluid. The virus has been around for several years but, now it seems to be hitting its peak. Ebola has most rapidly spread in the western African nations, where the death rate is around 70%. There's been 9,000 cases of it and 5,000 have died. We also are aware that the disease could be spread to animals as well. There've been a few cases in America, no where near the amount of Western Africa and only a couple have died. Americans stand a better chance against the virus due to the advancements in healthcare facilities we have compared to Africa. 

    The cartoon conveys the thoughts on whether or not our society is prepared enough for the virus. President Obama has came out saying they are prepared to deal with every aspect that Ebola may bring but, the controversial topic is if our government is doing everything to benefit Americans from being harmed. You would hope so, but that's not always the case as our healthcare facilities and department of public health have been making some questionable decisions. For example they've sent a patient home that actually had Ebola, they've let an infected women fly on a commercial airline with other civilians to go to another hospital, and ran out of a potential treatment for the virus.
