     A South African official says a suspect has appeared in court on a murder charge for the killing of Senzo Meyiwa, the national soccer team captain. Nathi Mncube, spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority, also said Friday that the suspect faces a charge of armed robbery. Meyiwa, a goalkeeper for South Africa and club team Orlando Pirates, was fatally shot Sunday night in an apparent house robbery.

     His death in Vosloorus township near Johannesburg led to an outpouring of dismay and anger in South Africa, which has a high murder rate.

    Kaci Hickox, a nurse placed under mandatory quarantine in New Jersey, went on CNN on Sunday and criticized the knee-jerk reaction by politicians to Ebola. Hickox, an epidemiologist who was working to help treat Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, has tested negative twice for Ebola and does not have symptoms, she said. Hickox told Crowley that mandatory quarantine is "not a sound public health decision" and that public health officials, not politicians, should be making the policies related to Ebola and public safety. "For the first 12 hours, I was in shock. Now I'm angry," she added. On Sunday afternoon, Norman Siegel, Hickox's attorney, told CNN that he will be filing papers in court for Hickox to have a hearing no later than five days from the start of her confinement.

    Although these precautions seem to be inhumane and unfair i think they're doing the right thing. Even if someone may not have ebola if they do have the signs for it they should be in quarantine for other peoples safety. It is better to take the necessary precautions rather than be at risk.

   Thomas duncan died from ebola on wednesday, October 8, at the Texas hospital. His family and friends are devasted and are now questioning the care he had received. They wonder if the outcome would have been different if he was admitted to the hospital on September 25, when he first had signs of ebola. Its said that Duncan started experiencing signs of ebola about a week after he came back from Africa. After being admitted to the hospital days after his signs, he died ten days later. 

     I think that if ebola keeps spreading like this it could become a world wide outbreak. Now that its in the United States a lot of people are becoming scared and nervous for what the future holds. Honestly i believe that if a person in the government had ebola there would already be a vaccine.

     Thomas Duncan, who was released from a Texas hospital after contracting the ebola virus has infected about 100 people. Duncan, along with his family, have to stay in quarantine until October 19. They are not allowed to have any visitors or leave for any cirumstances. Polic officers are posted outside of their house to ensure that they can't leave their house. Mr Duncan is believed to have contracted Ebola as he helped transport a pregnant woman stricken with the virus. Within 24 hours of Mr Duncan's diagnosis, Texas health officials identified 12-18 people who came into contact with him at his house, including his partner and her five children.

     The ebola virus has gotten out of control within the past month. If something is not done to stop it will become a national problem. With only a 10% survival rate, this virus could potentially wipe out a large amount of the worlds population. A vaccine has to be produced as soon as possible inorder to stop this pandemic. As wembe seen in the past month, this virus can spread and will continue to spread if something doesn't stop it.
