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.
