Ebola Outbreak

I remember in 1995 a fictional movie call Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman. It was about a virus outbreak that was very deadly. It was all for show, but now we have the real deal called Ebola from Africa and maybe coming into the United States. Last time I checked with the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and they showed it on the website. Can this be the disease of the year? Or is this just a short term thing? I hope. Yes, Ebola has been around for years but now it has become a concern from the World Health Organization. As of now, some say it’s still too early to panic for a national alert in the United States. Only Europe and Asia are in high alert. But maybe the U.S. Government is not telling us anything for now. All I can say for now is let’s wait and see the outcome and let’s not jump the gun. Remember when people panic that’s when people die.
