The article Ebola in North America by HREF, ROBIN.EISNER, and ABC.COM discusses the virus as one that can be a plane-ride away. The disease has origins in Central Africa, and it is believed to have no cure. On Wednesday, a woman was capitalized in Ontario after falling ill while she was flying from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Canada. Later on, the hospital dismisses the claims as the public health officials announced that she was free from the virus.
According to the article, the underlying suspicion of an individual travelling by flight from Congo to Canada raises a red alert to every concerned state. Besides, the article is worried about the increased number of international travels and worries for North America unveiling. According to an epidemiologist, Marie Kimball says is that it is possible for an Ebola outbreak to occur in North America (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=117645).
Moreover, the article states that the travel time is always shorter than the incubation period for the disease. Long ago, the article states that individuals who could travel by ship received quarantine at arrival since the symptoms could have popped out. Unlike air travel, the incubation period is limited due to the short period of travel. Assumptions are, even if the first Ebola case is confirmed, there is unlikelihood of several people being presented to the risk of infection.
Nevertheless, the article refutes the claims stating that the virus is transmitted via body fluids, for instance, semen and saliva.

In Africa, relatives of the deceased handle the dead bodies with lack of professionalism and end up getting in contact with open sores. Additionally, the virus kills quickly in a manner that does not allow the organization to implement an immune retort.
To sum up, I feel that the article illustrates that the possibility of the virus reaching North America should send signals to relevant authorities to detect and handle the outbreaks of infectious diseases. The Ebola virus is a menace that every country should be prepared to tackle.
