Ebola is a serious matter and should not be jokes about. On thing annoyinger than Miranda Sings is the dress like no one cares what colour the dress is it’s just a dress. I have a habit of talking back to my step dad Rod and his yelling makes me want to be deaf. Most of the people at school call me mean names and I try to not say anything but i’m a very emotional person and it’s hard for me not to cry for no reason so about half the time I cry at home and can’t stop. A lot of people call me stupid but little do they know I am a genius. I get super mad when my brother says “WHY DON’T ANIMALS LIKE SKUNKS?” and the end of the joke is “BECAUSE THEY ARE SMELLY,” and my mom starts laughing and can’t stop and it isn’t funny at all. When people are working on a test or just standing in public start tapping their feet or tapping their pencil it annoys me so much.

    In 2014, one of the most talked about subject was the deadly disease, Ebola. As Ebola became more contained, a new disease broke out, causing panic this past summer. The Zika virus has no cure and is spread to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes, mainly affecting pregnant women and their unborn child. Though Ebola and the Zika virus are very different from one another in who they affect and how, they share one common factor in that they are both zoonotic diseases (Zoonotic, 2006). Animals transfer the zoonotic diseases to humans through physical contact, such as an animal bite or the consumption of raw meat.…

    The author of Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Chernoh Alpha M.Bah, explanation of the outbreak in Sierra Leon and how it influences people’s perception and the response to Ebola from both the political and social perceptive, is one of my favourite reading as it correlates to the topics discuss in lectures so far. As he demonstrated, structural violence in this case must be understood in the context of a regional history and global economy that have cultivated inequalities. For instance, it is no coincidence that Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone are resource poor countries; their rich natural and human resources have long been extracted for foreign profit as opposed to being developed for the benefit of the general population. The lack of trust…

    In the Shadow of Ebola is an observatory documentary that focuses on the lives in Liberia under the deadly Ebola attack. Concerning the film’s title, the word “Shadow” implies the serious Ebola leaves problems like deaths, hunger and social disturbances in the vulnerable Liberia. In fact, daily lives’ problems of citizens in different stages of the spread of disease are also addressed. Subjective this first-person narration may be, viewing the event from Urey’s family perspective could be one of the examples of educated Liberian families in the epidemic outbreak. After all, the documentary aims at triggering reflections on the factors that foster the transmission of Ebola in Liberia; and arousing more awareness of public infrastructure in the general public and online.…

    No, I don’t think Edgar Allan Poe was talking about Ebola. I don’t think he was talking about Ebola, because it wasn’t a know disease.

    A major effect of the Ebola outbreak was anxiety and depression in survivors. A significant source of this distress was the poor, dehumanizing care Ebola patients received in hospitals (H, N). Survivors faced isolation from their relatives, constantly witnessed the deaths of other patients, and sometimes disrespectful care from hospital staff (N). Though infected patients were allowed to be visited in designated family visit areas, many weren’t visited at all.…
