EBOLA. WHAT ARE WE (UNITED STATES) GOING TO DO?

In a post dated October 14 by Mitchell Rico, he talked about a article that was posted in The Texas Daily titled "Real Ebola crisis' in Africa, not in United States. I have to agree with Mitchell's statement as well as the article, that we need to help contain Ebola in Western Africa.  The few outbreaks that have occurred in the United States are far fewer than the millions of Africans who have been affected. Like I mentioned in my post Living in fear...Ebola, as long as the citizens of the United States can receive the health care needed in treating this virus, then why worry about those who are dying everyday in Western Africa? SMH. It upsets me to know how insensitive and selfish the people of the United States are. But wait! This should not come as a shock to me, let alone upset me, because I see the behavior in every day life from the way people are less fortunate are being treated here.

To elevate the frantic behavior, and put the citizens at ease, we need to provide as much aid as we can to those in Liberia, and we need to find a way of providing it fast. Mr. Rico is correct in saying " Maybe if we didn't ignore the fatal virus in the first place and gave a better helping hand we would not be experiencing cases in the U.S." Very well said Mr. Rico! I couldn't have said better myself.
