Gentle/Oct. 31/ Ebola Blog

       Ebola virus disease (EVD) was formally known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, a severe often fatal illness in humans, says world health organization. The virus was transmitted from wild animals to the human population and now spreads through human-to-human transmission.

       West Africa has been undergoing a serious outbreak of Ebola since March earlier this year. This has been the largest and most complex EVD outbreak since it was first discovered in 1976, resulting in more deaths now, then all EVD outbreak deaths since discovered 38 years ago combined.

       After interviewing Emmalee Kamm, a current nurse and undergraduate at Avernole University Milwaukee says, Ebola doesn't scare or bother her because in order to get Ebola you have to come in contact with blood or bodily fluids from the infected patient.

       After interviewing Jasmine Cooper, a current undergraduate at CLC And former student of UWP, says she feels like society is just hyping up Ebola like the previous Swine flu incident. Meaning that the Ebola epidemic will pass over time just like the previous swine flu dilemma.
