-Potentially, the disease could've

spread to the rest of the United

states and made everyone else sick

-At the same time, the doctors could

experiment on these people and figure

out a better cure that could be used on

the people in Africa as well, possibly curing

the disease entirely.

- The Ebola Virus emerged in Africa and has been wrecking havoc on the nation's countless villages

- Njala Ngiema, a village in Sierra Leone Africa, is one of the most devastated African village by Ebola

-The government has tried to stop the spread of Ebola by quarantining multiple districs ( a region roughly the size of Jamaica has been cut off from the rest of the country)

-Although the government “has effectively cordoned off this part of the country," raising worries that if the epidemic does not decimate the region, a subsequent shortage of food, trade and supplies will.

- When a deadly disease breaks out in one part of the world, it always has the potential to spread out to the rest of the world!

- This "heads-up" of seeing Africa suffer gives us and others the time to prepair

- Thousands of people have died

- This is an opportunity forthe global community to come together and help
