The ebola virus might be more of a problem than we already think it is. The hospitals that are holding the affected patients are at a loss for what they should do with the patients waste, soiled sheets and contaminated tools and medical accessories used on the patients. This created a huge problem for the hospitals; one, Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. They stated that they make up as much as 40 bags of medical waste a day that they have no way to get rid of. This creates a huge problem for the patients because no hospital can think of a way to solve their problem.

This shocked me because there are so many people developing the illness. If even doctors and nurses don't want to deal with the virus, how are people going to get better? It seems kind of like the people are going to be helpless when they develop the illness. We need to figure out a way to throw out the waste and save these innocent peoples' lives.
