The recent Ebola outbreak has caused much tension in the United States. Ebola was brought from Africa with travelers who were either returning to their homeland or simply visiting. Citizens and residents of the United States are intimidated of getting infected by this contagious disease. The symptoms of the disease are quite horrific and eventually lead to death. The stage before death is the most severe of all. The disease causes the infected to secrete blood from all openings of their body. Because of the infectiousness of the disease, America has gone overboard with trying confine those who have been unfortunate enough to catch the terrible virus. The first person to be quarantined was Kaci Hickox, in New Jersey, who was just returning from Africa. Although she had no trace of the disease, she remained quarantined under inhumane treatment. Other states like New York have also have been conducting inhumane quarantine treatments like New Jerseys. The White House has finally took a stand in this madness. Obama spoke out stating that he wanted these madness and unnecessary acts to stop. These people are being trying like animals and America is going too far with this Ebola controversy.
Ebola is very serious and may cause many deaths. Because of this, people who have caught the disease should remain quarantined. But, the cases of the few who have been quarantined have been inhumane. The government should feel pity for those who have caught the virus instead of treating them like they are animals. The treatment or more fortunately, the cure, should shortly be discovered. After that, this Ebola crisis will come to an end.
