Making Sense of the Ebola Virus:
The Ebola virus struck the world infecting 6,263 and killing nearly 2,917 men, women, and
children in five Western African countries. The Ebola virus has a very high risk of death. The
virus causes fever, muscle aches, sore throat, headaches, vomitting, diarrhea, a body rash,

this virus is by coming into contact with the contaminated being's bodily fluids, which should not
be too much of a problem. The reason the virus is so much out of control is because well
in America we have secure quarantines so if someone were to get Ebola here they would
be quarantined immediately and would not become a danger to anyone else, but in West Africa
they do not seem to have such proper medical care, which means if someone were to get Ebola
there would be no where to put them, they would be still be out there in the world and would
endanger everyone near them, and this unfortunately is what happened. WHO and CDC are
working on quarantining everyone who has the virus which will stop the
