As a person who wants to represent you in Congress,I am concerned about the health crisis posed by Ebola. In previous post, I mentioned that Ebola is unpredictable. That means that anything we think we know about Ebola may be changing.We must NOT overlook anything. We are not prepared to deal with a potentially deadly outbreak of this dreaded virus. We do not have enough equipment,trained personnel or a clear plan to deal with such a health crisis, let alone enough isolation units. The protocol to deal with this virus was not followed in Dallas, Texas. Now another nurse is infected. We must immediately have funds mandated to the various health organizations the Center For Disease Control, the National Institute of Health, and the World Health Organization to get Ebola under control. We must educate thousands of health care workers; we must have the best equipment to protect our health care workers and other public employees who may incidentally come into contact with potentially infected individuals. This could potentialy become a serious worldwide epidemic. We must pay attention. Critical thinking at the early stages is imperative; for example. everyone s immune system is different, therefore..an individual could have symptoms of this virus with a varied temperature other than what the CDC guideline is. Unpredictable is just that, unpredictable. Nothing can be overlooked. The health of the public is at risk. We cannot be casual about this deadly virus..Ebola has spread to three continents outside of west
Africa; as the United Nations mentioned today, this problem must be contained within sixty days or we risk 10,000 new cases a week. It could actually be much worst. WE are taking action in west Africa; we must not overlook our own nation!
