  • Your summary is brief and does not provide a link to the story. You also did not reply to any comments.

  • I think that the CDC needs to step in more and get control of this before it turns into an epidemic. 

  • Educate people on the signs and symptoms as well as how it is spread.

  • they need to find some way to where they cant get Ebola so easy. We dont need more people getting it and spreading it across the U.S

  • They dont have to proper equipment and saftey gear for the job SEND THE PATIENTS TO OMAHA!!!

  • They need to find something that the Ebola cant get to them even when they are taking off there gear. make sure the patient isn't spreading it somehow. Need to figure something out so that it does not spread to people that are working on Ebola patients.

  • They can get the right equipment and make sure there totally covered so they don't get it and spread it even worse. They also should make sure the patent is in isolation and only people with the training and equipment should treat them. 

  • There isn't much you can do to prevent it. Just keep your distance.

  • they should have another layer of protective clothes/gear under the other stuff so if it does happen they have a little more protection next time.

  • I don't really understand how it happened because when you are treating a patient with Ebola you know you  have to take a lot of precautions even if some accidents always happen. They need to be more careful next time.
