For my third topic idea I decided to look at Ebola from a global standpoint. I found that the virus started in Guinea in December of 2013 and then spread to Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, and Sierra Leone. Since these countries were affected, all of the ports into and out of them were shut down. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is a huge problem since these countries make the majority of their money through their exports. Since they can't export anything that also means that they can't import anything. All of these countries import things such as food or medications and without them it could be detrimental to the health of the people there. With a lack of open ports in these countries it is very difficult to get help into and then out of them. With no help for these countries the problem will only get worse.
