Kyla Thomas (1st Period)- Ebola kills 3 in DRC, WHO says; scores more linked to deaths


Summary: This article is about another ebola outbreak that is currently taking place right now. Recently, 3 people have been reported to have ebola and all of those people died. A taxi driver drove a passenger who had it and he mysteriously contracted it and later he passed away. The last outbreak in 2014 in DRC's Boende region -- an event unrelated to the 2014 West Africa outbreak that killed thousands -- was short-lived, as a team of field epidemiologists quickly stopped the spread of the disease, limiting it to 66 cases, 49 of them fatal.

Analysis: Ebola is a deadly disease that spreads rapidly and its origin is in Africa. Many people believe that it comes from monkeys. This disease is indeed dangerous and has the potential to put a big dent in the population of many Africans and many Americans if it spreads rapidly throughout the United States. This can be synthesized to the Ebola outbreak in 2014. This scary outbreak made people take many precautions in public places especially airports.

  1. The 2014 outbreak was terrifying. I hope no one else contracts it.
