If you were in charge of protecting the US from viruses like Ebola what safeguards would you put in place? Explain your reasoning.
First thing's first is to inform the nation of this serious disease to raise awareness of contagious things or activities. Be sure to include the symptoms, to scare them for maximum effect. Include some advice like avoid eating raw meat, don't touch anyone's bodily fluids, wear a face mask (Ebola can spread through air), don't go to hotels, etc. This will support people being cautious of Ebola.
Next, we need to keep track of who's gotten the disease. This way, we can put them in quarantine so they don't infect others by wandering around or puking on doctor's faces.
From the victims who are already dead, we need to safely send blood or other DNA samples to a Virus Specialist Center for investigation and info about Ebola.
We will tell scientists to quickly develop a vaccine for this condition, ASAP. It's serious.
