What is Ebola? And what is the CDC doing about it?

For anyone who does not know this, Ebola is a fatal virus. It’s only contagious when a person is experiencing symptoms. Symptoms would include: fever, severe headaches, joint and muscle aches, chills, weakness, nausea, diarrhea, red eyes, raised rash, chest pain and cough, stomach pain, severe weight loss, and eternal bleeding.

The CDC (Centers for Disease and Prevention) is stepping in to try to stop the spread of this fatal disease. The CDC has deployed health experts to help the affected countries.

I personally think that more people should be deployed to help. I know I would get a lot of complaints on my opinion, but I will not change my mind. I know it’s deadly but I think that qualified people should help. If a majority of the U.S. was suffering, we — as a country — would want other countries to help us.
