I have decided to write my argumentative paper on “What we should do about the Ebola outbreak”. I know you all are probably like ugh more about Ebola but a lot of people don’t really know a lot about it, you think you know a lot about it however people are freaking out for no reason. I’m not saying it’s not a problem, it is a very serious problem that needs to be dealt with, but I’m going to try to make you understand that you really don’t need to freak out about it.

Ebola is a very serious problem, however people don’t really understand that we should be worried but we do not need to be in a panic….. Yet, there may come a time when we do need to panic but that is not now. Currently in the U.S and Europe only three people have actually died from Ebola. Only 19 cases of Ebola have been treated Europe and the United States. If you do get Ebola you are not contagious until you start showing symptoms, if you do start showing symptoms though the virus is then present on your skin. These symptoms will usually begin about eight to 10 days after the exposure to the virus, you will think you have a flu: a headache, fever and aches and pains. Then your health will take a turn for the worst you will start hemorrhaging. You may start throwing up blood, have blood in your urine, and bleed under your skin or from your eyes and mouth. Then your blood vessels deep in your body begin leaking fluid, causing blood pressure to plummet so low that the heart, kidneys, liver and other organs begin to fail.

I think that if we need calm. We have no reason to panic yet about this in the U.S. I believe that if the problem does become worse than we should panic. I have been asked if I have Ebola just from simply coughing at a gas station, I was asked by a police officer. I think that the panic is getting more out of hand then the actual virus in America right now. If you are cautious then you have nothing to worry about. If the problem does happen to get worse then I think we should stop letting flights in from Africa.
