WOW! This is epic. I can't believe that the nurse didn't
take the necessary precautions to make sure this didn't happen.
Ebola is becoming something very serious. This particular
nurse was taking care or Mr. Thomas Duncan when he came from Africa to Dallas
to visit family with Ebola. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
says that this nurse didn't follow the rules that the CDC set in place so that
the nurses didn't get Ebola, and that's why she got it. She came in direct
contact with Duncan and wasn't careful enough. CDC also said that other nurses
were in contact with Mr. Duncan during the time he was in the hospital, which
should be handled. It's sad to have to say but Mr. Duncan didn't survive Ebola.
He passed away October 8th.
Someone needs to take control and help prevent from anyone
else catching this terrible disease.

Some hospitals and nurses do not know the correct protocols that are needed to treat Ebola patients. By saying this, I believe that only certain hospitals should be able to care for these types of patients. Local hospitals should not have to care for Ebola patients because they are not properly equipped to do so. Hospitals like Emory Medical in Atlanta, Georgia have the proper tools and equipment to care for Ebola patients. If Mr. Thomas Duncan was treated at Emory Medical, he still may have died but the nurses that would have followed Emory's protocols and could not have contracted the disease.
