Ebola Patient

Improved Essays
Your essay is very detailed as to how your team prepared for the Ebola virus as a facility. I could imagine, your team must have exhausted the MDMP tool “in which the MDMP guideline helps the commander and staff examine a battlefield situation, and making a logical decision (FM 101-5).” SGT Kuhnle, I also noted how your unit utilized the troop Leading Procedure (TLP), by preparing, and deciding on how to prevent and control an Ebola outbreak when you receive an Ebola patient. Your unit was able “to analyzed the mission, and came up with a plan on how to effectively receive, handle and treat (ADP 5-0)” possible Ebola patients. SGT Kuhnle, I do not think your paper is written as of the instructions given for this assignment; no sub-topics

    One last grievance I have with “The Hot Zone,” is its verbiage detailing of the events that unfolded at the Reston monkey house. Preston’s use of language is no doubt swoon worthy in much of the novel. His descriptions and characterizations are what make this book truly special in my eyes. However, the Reston incident spans nearly half of the book and though obviously important to the history of Ebola as we know it, Preston drags out moments that could have been summarized in a few short sentences into long repetitive paragraphs. Perhaps within those dense and somewhat dull paragraphs Preston felt there were details that needed to be voiced, but for the most part it made the book tiresome to finish by page 300.…

    Could Poe be talking about Ebola in the “Mask of the Red Death,” possibly because they were both very deadly diseases.

    Was Poe talking about the ebola disease in the “Masque Of The Red Death”? Based on what I read I don’t think Poe was talking about ebola. The reason I think this is because the story was wrote 200 years ago. When Poe was talking about the disease he explained what happened when people got it. When people got it he said “when they caught this disease they bled out of their poors”.…

    History has a tendency of repeating itself from the forms of leadership to tactics of war to the plagues that kill many. Ebola originated in West Africa in the 21st century more than five hundred years after the Black Plague. The Black Plague occurred in Europe during the middle ages and left a great impact on society. Although Ebola never reached the mass scale of the Black Plague it still had a traumatic impact on societies. Ebola and the Black Plague differ in the environment of the societies prior to contact, the symptoms, and impacts on societies; yet, are similar in the initial spread of infection, public reactions, and the rate at which they spread.…

    Introduction The movie ‘Outbreak’ came out in cinemas in 1995 shortly after the discovery of the Ebola HF virus in the late 1970s. This movie dramatizes the Ebola HF virus and portrays it as the fictional Motaba virus, it shows in a dramatic Hollywood way how the US would react to a deadly disease outbreak. Of course, being a Hollywood movie there are some facts and many fallacies in the finer, more scientific aspects of the disease. The biosecurity facilities used to control the spread of the disease are not accurately portrayed and the evolution of the disease is ridiculous and very inaccurate. Scientific Information Viruses In and Out of the Movie…
