Russell Berman, an associate editor at The Atlantic, writes
about the Ebola crisis and what America and its army is doing to support the
cause. The American government sent 4,000 military troops and $750 million
dollars in an effort to help those suffering and help contain the epidemic before
it spreads even further. The troops are currently helping to construct seven
testing labs and 17 treatment facilities, which they hope to have up and
running by mid-November. The troops were specially trained for such a situation
and are cautiously helping out. U.S. and international health officials have made
urgent warnings about the outbreak in West Africa, which has killed more than
3,400 people and infected 7,500 in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, according
to the World Health Organization. This has become an even more urgent matter
seeing how Ebola reached American mainland just last week. This is a seriously
dangerous epidemic and is why the U.S is taking such precautions and assisting
to the best of their abilities, the countries that are suffering from Ebola
right now.
Berman writes very informatively and cites
credible sources. He explores the common questions that common people would be
asking, which adds clarity to the article. He writes in an approving manner,
agreeing with the American government’s plans to eradicate this disease. All in
all, Berman is simply informing the reader what is happening with the epidemic.
