There has been a question that has been taking over America as the Ebola crisis has emerged. Should people be allowed to stay in hospitals that are infected with Ebola? There are many factors that have to be weighed in when it comes to this debate. There are many reasons it is not a good idea for patients that have Ebola-like symptoms, or people who have been exposed to the virus to stay in hospitals other citizens will be in.     
Ebola is spread through bodily fluids, so it is very easily transmitted through people. If there were patients with Ebola in hospitals, the hundreds of people would be susceptible. The hospitals already have too many people that are already sick, and exposing them to this deadly virus will cause nothing but destruction. The people who could even possibly have been exposed should be sent to a specific quarantined area.     
We have all seen the damage this virus can do, and letting the citizens of communities be exposed can lead to thousands of more cases. There should be a specific quarantined facility especially for Ebola patients to avoid exposure. Special protocols would be taken in a hospital, but with it being such a public place, there are no guarantees if what could happen. In conclusion, people with the Ebola virus should not be allowed to stay in hospitals, with other citizens who will be put in danger. When it comes to Ebola, the media makes a monster of it, but in reality it is not all that bad. When someone is infected with Ebola, if it is diagnosed early enough, it is not hard to fight off. The media has made Ebola out to be an incurable virus that has the potential to wipe out the human race, but as long as it is caught early enough and you take care of yourself properly, you can kick the virus. This is why Ebola patients should be able to stay in a normal hospital.     
In the average American hospital there will always be a quarantine unit of the hospital, therefore it would be perfectly safe to contain and Ebola infected patient in a hospital that it for all types of illnesses. There are also families of Ebola patients to think about, if one of your relatives was infected wouldn't you want them in the best care facility possible?
​New building are expensive, especially when they are on a deadline. The government would be putting your hard earned tax dollars into something we already have by building an Ebola specific hospital. These new hospital would also not have the latest and greatest equipment, as a normal hospital, because these hospital could only be temporary depending on how much of a hot zone they could potentially become. In conclusion Ebola patients should be allowed to stay in normal hospitals, building Ebola specific hospital will cost time, money, and lives.     

Social Media, Not That Bad After all?

In our world everyone is a little different, we all do different jobs and we all have different interests. People have begun to use social media to express themselves and it becomes their full time job. I am talking about Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat and more. People are developing somewhat of their own empire through their followers.
This is very beneficial to people like stay at home moms and unemployed people. The average You-tuber makes five dollars for every thousand view and when you become popular this is easy cashflow. There also You-tubers that do partnerships and sponsorships which is good for you and your partnering company.
Social media is also very good for photography equipment companies, believe it or not camera sales have gone up a lot since social media has been able to be monetized. In conclusion there are many benefits to simply getting started on social media.       

The Virus that killed more people to count
Ty Smith March 17,2016

Carberra- This outbreak of Ebola has spread all over Africa and is affecting people left and right. There are many things that make people sick. These viruses go on for a day or even days. This virus causes so many people to be dead or in horrible conditions. This virus was started in the continent of Africa. This outbreak of the virus will need to be stopped but without a cure.
This virus isn't just some kind of thing where you can go to the doctor and get a shoot. This virus is very dangerous because all someone has to do is sneeze on you can get Ebola. 70% of people that are infected died because of Ebola. This percent is the way it is because there is no cure for Ebola. This Hot Virus has caused many peoples family's gone and torn apart.
Said by  Dr. Tom Frieden, "It is the world’s first Ebola epidemic, and it’s spiraling out of control. It’s bad now, and it’s going to get worse in the very near future. There is still a window of opportunity to tamp it down, but that window is closing. We really have to act now." I think that this quote is very much true. I think that if we just keep letting people get infected with Ebola the more deaths in the world. The window for finding a cure is striking but the more we keep trying the more success there will be. This virus is is the worst thing that is happening to the world.
