Ebola by Kent Ong

Summary : Ebola was found since 1976.  During 2014, there was an outbreak of Ebola. Ebola is a disease that can cause death. At first , Ebola was started at Uganda and Sudan, however last year's outbreak started at Guinea which was unexpected as it was not infected before. Ebola can be spread through close physical contact with infected people.When a person has died from Ebola, their body will have a very high viral load. Bleeding is a usual symptom of the disease prior to death. People there are affected badly as hugging , kissing , touching and washing is part of their religious worship when someone dies. People there are not educated thus do not know how to handle and prevent themselves not getting infected. Thus this resulted in the outbreak of Ebola. 

Opinion: In my opinion , personal hygiene is very important. Keeping oneself clean can help to prevent such diseases. Being considerate is also very important . Example when you are infected with a virus which has a symptom of cough or flu , wearing a mask will help to not spread the virus as it can be spread through the air. Lastly , I think that education is very important . Education not only teaches us a subject but also teaches us how to protect ourselves.

Ebola outbreak: Ghana tests US man

Summory

US citizen is being tested for the Ebola virus in Ghana, which has had no confirmed cases of the virus in the current West African outbreak. This virus has so far killed more than 400+ people since it has broke out in Guinea in February and is spreading to neighbouring  like Liberia and Sierra Leone. This is a strong virus and there is no cure for it. Staff at the clinic had also been quarantined and provided with protective clothing to prevent such virus from attacking them.

I think we should not visit this place with this virus as the virus are harmful. if we are incontect with this virus, straight away get a doctor medication. To my conclusion,  we should be more alert and careful as this virus are deadly.
