Ebola hits the United States
Ebola is
an infectious and often fatal disease marked by fever and severe internal
bleeding, spread through contact with infected body fluids. Three people in the US are
infected currently. They are all from Texas. Three other people have recovered,
also from Texas. The symptoms of Ebola include: fever, severe headache, muscle
pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal (stomach) pain and unexplained
hemorrhage (bleeding and bruising). The symptoms will appear 2-10 days after
exposure. There is currently no cure for the virus, but if you recover
from the virus you will be immune to Ebola for up to ten years.
ISIS is back to killing and torturing
Three girls
from Denver skipped school and were on their way to Syria to join ISIS. Many
people from the US have tried to leave and join the terrorist group over 100 of
the foreign fighters have come from the United States. ISIS seems to behind the
reason for all of the Americans leaving. Seven troops from the US were killed
by ISIS members for things they were posting on social media.
