I really don’t know why this is still an issue, but why is no one really talking about the Ebola outbreak that is spreading through the Democratic Republic of Congo? I have written a lot about outbreaks of diseases in the last year, but I guess that I need to keep writing about diseases until people get the notion that they should care about outbreaks of major diseases even if it does not impact them directly. Why is it that people don’t care about the things and issues that don’t impact them directly? Back in 2015, when the whole country was worrying about the Ebola outbreaks, people only cared because there were a few cases that were found in the U.S. If there isn’t a chance that there will be cases in the U.S., then people just really don’t care. According to the The Citizen, a South African news organization, the Democratic Republic of Congo “is grappling with the world’s second largest Ebola epidemic on record, with more than 2500 lives lost and 3000 confirmed infections since the outbreak was announced on Aug. 1, 2018.” So one of the biggest Ebola outbreaks in history is not being talked about. We need to start caring about problems that don’t directly affect us.
