Ebola

By: Samantha Lopez

Many of you know about the new virus that is occurring in Africa and the USA. This virus is called Ebola. This virus first started in between 1987 and 1990 and killed many people in Africa. Half the population of Africa was killed by this virus. Now Ebola is back again to attack us. In Africa in 2014, It is repeating the story from 2001, but not only is Ebola located in Africa, but it also located here in the USA in Texas and New York, yet only six people have the virus. One person, the first with Ebola coming from Africa to the United States, died of Ebola.

People who are in contact with another person with Ebola will have to be in the hospital or be in a room alone for 21 to 40 days. A lot of nurses and doctors are being affected with Ebola because the nurses and doctors are traveling to Africa to help the people with the virius and in turn get infected on occasion.

A doctor came back from Africa and went to New York. He went on the subway bus and went home. Then, he realized that something was wrong so he decided to go to the doctors and the bad news was that he had Ebola. Now he is in a room alone for many days to see if the virus will remove from him.
