The Ebola patient in New York has been declared virus-free
as of Tuesday. Dr. Craig Spencer came in contact with Ebola while treating
patients in Guinea. He finished his work on October 12th, and began
showing symptoms after he arrived in the United States. He was treated at New
York’s Bellevue Hospital.
Analysis: I think that this relates to the AIDS epidemic,
only on a less dramatic scale. Many people believed that Ebola would spread
through every town in America by the end of the year simply because a handful
of people became ill from the virus. However, as of Tuesday, Dr. Craig Spencer
was the last person in America to have had the virus and be cured from it. Do
you think any more cases will emerge?

This does remind me of the AIDS epidemic. I'm so glad that our doctors and nation worked hard to control and stop the disease. We were very lucky because if we weren't careful, it could have been a big devastation in America loosing a lot of our friends and family.
