Ebola Patient in Dallas - Sophie Potrykus 2nd

     Recently we've heard a stir about the new virus Ebola breaking out in Africa, and the last place we would expect to find it next is in Dallas, Texas. A patient was confirmed to have it the other day and is currently in quarantine and the CDC has confirmed they are taking action against the horrifying diagnosis. Although no one else in the United States has had any case of it, people are already taking precautions. They are making sure to watch what they touch or eat, and many are heading to doctors as soon as possible just to get checked for the virus. Doctors are now "contact tracing" back to anybody the Ebola patient came in contact with prior to the diagnosis. We can only hope for the patient to get well soon and for this deadly virus to not spread any further.

  1. This disease is crazy and can really kill people. It is crazy how in any other places in the world the disease is in dallas. All we can do it make sure we don't touch things not our, wash our hands, and don't drink or eat after anyone.

  2. I think people just need to be way more careful about what circumstances they put themselves out to. Like totally avoid any contact with things that you are simply not supposed to contact with

  3. Of all the places, of course it ends up in Dallas. Did you know that the first time he went to the hospital, they released him and said he was fine? Also I think he was in contact with 5 DISD children. This is frightening.
