Due to all the hype about the spreading of Ebola in the United States; which ultimately is a deadly virus. I wanted to get another person’s personal perspective on this national issue. On Tues. Oct. 28 I asked a Co-worker of mine from the Olive Garden restaurant on her thoughts about her thoughts of Ebola now being in the United States. My co-worker Kristina stated, “Although it is very scary that such a serious virus is now in the states, I don’t think at the moment I have much to worry about since it is not affecting anyone in my area. However, my parents feel differently and are so worried.” I have found that though I may agree with Kristina’s thoughts on this topic, many people are very concerned with this deadly virus since it is now in our “backyards” so to speak. Yet it is important to remember that we have more resources available to us than other countries, such as Africa.
