Stop Ebola

    Ebola is a fatal illness that has no cure or treatment. The first outbreak of Ebola was in 1976 in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, it was near a river called Ebola. Even with it's outbreaks dating back to 76' it's most complicated case occurred this year in March. This recent outbreak has caused more deaths than all the other outbreaks in the past combined. To make sure that you don't become one of the victims of Ebola make sure you know who you're interacting with and to do that you need to look at the symptoms of Ebola.
    There are many symptoms of Ebola to look at but there are certain symptoms we should be looking for first. The first symptoms we should be looking for are fever fatigue, muscle pain, headaches and sore throat. If you notice all of these symptoms in a person then they are in the early stages of Ebola and should be quarantined. The symptoms that come after those are vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and bleeding externally/internally. This is all called the incubation period which occurs in the first 2 to 21 days.
    To prevent the spread of Ebola in the U.S they should quickly put the zone in which the person landed on, into quarantine. This is just to be safe that there's no one else around that zone who could of possibly had Ebola due to the fact that they came in contact with individual who did have Ebola.
