What would you do if your family member or friend came home Ebola? Ebola is an infectious and generally fatal disease marked by a fever and severe internal bleeding is spread through contact with the infected body fluids by a filo-virus (Ebola virus). In Dallas, Texas, Eric Duncan was diagnosed with the Ebola virus. Duncan had come in contact with approximately 100 people before realized he had Ebola. Many people in Texas are now being screened and are being put in the 21 day isolation periods. How would you feel if you were the cause of many others catching a very fatal disease?
Eric Duncan's story relates well with Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Speech because although the context is different, the message of main point is the same-to have hope. Duncan's story begins with a very grim story starting with his diagnosis but as the story goes on, Duncan's story becomes more and more hopeful. Even though Duncan is still struggling with the Ebola virus, each day he struggles with it is hopefully one day closer to getting rid of the virus.
