-Post your thoughts on one of our class discussion-
It was interesting to note that over the course of this month a few doctor's who were infected with the Ebola virus- arrived from West Africa and were transferred to a Atlanta hospital -a facility that is regulated and monitored by the CDC- the doctors were placed in a tight control setting where the negative air pressure keeps the virus contained.. and are receiving vaccines that remain off the market..
After discussing the" No Market: Scientists Struggle t make Ebola Vaccines, treatments," I struggled with the fact that the people in Africa are receiving the bare minimum of care... Ebola is unpredictable and I often wonder if its being utilized again for other reasons...such as population control...if that was not the case ....then ..why would they not receive the same treatment like the doctors that were transferred to the United States? I believe that this is a bigger issue. Now.. the interesting thing to keep track of is the prognosis and treatment outcomes for the doctors in Atlanta...if they recover....you will have to wonder as well....WHY NOT SAVE OTHERS?
