In the article, "Fighting the deadly disease
of Ebola it explains that this outbreak has caused a worldwide problem. People are wondering what will it take to put end to this
outbreak? Two students explained their thoughts about the end of Ebola. One
study suggests at least half of all ill patients would need to be isolated and
the other study said, even more people need to be isolated. Based on his
math, seven out of 10 patients with the disease need to be
isolated. If the sick people are not isolated Ebola could continue
to spread for many years. This is the case because on average an ill
patient makes 2 other people sick. The World Health Organization has
already counted 7,178 cases. The CDC thinks to stop the disease
from spreading we need to isolate half of the sick people. In 1918 the Flu
killed more than 30 million people but it spread much after than
Ebola. Example each ill person made two to five people ill and Ebola patients
make about 2 other people get it.
I agree with CDC that half of Ebola patients need
to be isolated because if we Isolate at least half than only half the disease
will spread and it might not end up like the flu.

Your article is very interesting and I think it will take a lot to stop the spread of Ebola.
ReplyDeleteI agree with CDC. I think the patients need to be isolated, because each patient can spread the decease to others. This outbreak already covered a large area. We must isolate the patients in order to stop it!
ReplyDeleteI think they should isolate every people who acquired the disease because it'll make it worst if they'll just isolate at least half. Prevention is better than cure. :D
ReplyDeletei agree with the CDC because they should at least try to help some of those people and try to stop that disease before it spread it everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI don’t agree with CDC. In my opinion I think we should isolate as many patients as possible, because more people will get infected if the other half is still out. The number of infections will only increase if there are still patients outside. I think we should isolate all the patients in order to control the disease.
