I think that its great that they are sending people to help out with the Ebola out break. Britain and America have more resources than West Africa, and its good that they're helping. I hope they are taking the right precautions against it when letting these doctors and others back into their countries. Ebola is a serious disease, and spreading it even further wouldn't be a good thing. I'm happy they are helping though, and this is a great article.

*U.S. and Britain sending troops to combat Ebola in West Africa.*
This article is about the U.S. and Britain sending troops to West Africa to fight against the Ebola outbreak. Ebola is deadly to 50-80 percent of the people who get it, and it has killed more than 2,000 people since it was detected in March. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) about 152 of the doctors and workers, in Liberia alone, have come down with Ebola, and 79 of them have died. The WHO is quoted saying, "When patients are turned away at Ebola centers, they have no choice but to return home to their communities and homes," meaning that they leave, and spread it even more. They have been opening new treatment centers to control the spread of the disease, but every time the open one, it fills up almost immediately.
