I’m sure you all have heard about Ebola, I mean who hasn't? It’s such a tragic sickness that is in West Africa right now. Nobody can stop it, so the disease just keeps spreading and spreading. The disease symptoms spread so quickly that thousands of people have lost their lives from the virus. There are lots of symptoms of Ebola. For example, some of the first symptoms are a headache, fever, sore throat, and vomiting. With these signs, you might think you’re just coming down with the stomach flu. But then, you start getting rashes and your organs aren’t functioning correctly and you have internal and external bleeding. After this, you will probably start to realize that you have a terrible sickness called Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). Most cases of EVD are fatal, which is very disappointing. But, there are those lucky survivors of Ebola, and that brings all our hopes up just a little bit. So in conclusion, I would suggest that you don’t make a trip to West Africa any time soon. What are some facts that you know about Ebola?
Great job Eliza! I agree, ebola is a nightmare, but I believe it can be fixed. To answer your question, I have heard so much about Ebola over the past year with my sister reading The Hot Zone and the Ebola outrage that’s happening right now. Over that talk, I’ve learned almost as much as you wrote and also that when a person has it, they throw up their intestines and it comes out black or something gross like that. So yeah, never want to get that. Would you ever want to help an Ebola patient?

ReplyDeleteGreat post! I don’t know a lot about Ebola, but i do know that some scientists have found a way that have helped cured some Ebola patients. Some survivors of Ebola can donate blood and then the doctors put that blood into the patients. Its supposed to make the other blood cells more immune to the Ebola virus since they new blood cells have already beat the Ebola.
ReplyDeleteIf you had ever survived Ebola would you donate blood to a sick patient?
