Ebola: The Number One Most Talked About Topic of 2014

According to YahooNews, the Ebola breakout was the number one most searched news story of 2014. For those who have been living under a rock (most likely to avoid the Ebola virus), the disease originated in Guinea and had spread throughout West Africa. The virus's spread had caused over 5,000 people to lose their lives. However, America's interest took a major turn once there became a case of Ebola at a hospital known as Texas Presbyterian Hospital. The man with the virus was named Thomas Eric Duncan. He had been a citizen of Liberia, but when he took a flight to America, Ebola had also taken a flight to America. Two of the nurses treating Mr. Duncan had received the disease from him, but they have recovered from their affliction, but not without the disease spreading to other places in America. Due to the death of Duncan, the first to bring Ebola to America, many were calling for a closing of flight borders to infected and disease stuck countries. However, others claim that would have been a treacherous action, as it would have caused Ebola to develop even greater in the areas where the disease was already located. Due to the always changing aspects of diseases and cures discovered, only time can tell what is in store for Ebola and those with Ebola.
