Monday Matters #12

Ebola

One of the most talked about issues at this time is the epidemic of Ebola. When the first Ebola case in America was exposed, the United States became horrified. With the disease killing thousands in third-world countries, Americans feared the same would happen. However, this is simply not the case. Very few Americans have died of Ebola since it entered the US, because of modern medicine and quarantine that is provided in America. This is why I would agree with The Washington Times and Lauren Garrett of CNN, that Americans do not need to fear Ebola. The virus is simply being blown out of proportion. Americans should fear the flu more than Ebola, which is elaborated on by Karin Klein in her editorial. I found flaws in the editorials by The L.A. Times and David G. Brown in that they did not take into consideration, how little the Ebola virus has affected the United States.
