ReplyDeleteArticle Title: CDC Responds Rapidly to New York Ebola Case
Federal and State Officials Try to Apply the Lessons Learned From Dallas
Article Date: Updated Oct. 25, 2014 10:34 a.m. ET
Who: A doctor from New York known as Dr. Craig Spencer thought to have the disease after coming back to America from treating Ebola patients in Africa.
Where: Situation takes place in New York City
When: On Thursday the Center of Disease Control discovered a possibility that a Doctor in New York may have had the deadly Ebola virus.
What happened: Dr. Craig Spencer after tending to patients of Ebola in Guinea, Africa had been monitoring himself with symptoms of the Ebola virus when he was returning to the United States. On Thursday he had call the NYC Department of Health and he was evacuated to an Ebola treatment facility. The Center of Disease Control (CDC) has been tracking him and anyone he has had contact with. Learning from the mistakes they had made in Dallas, researchers found that diagnosis in Texas was slow for the patient and that two nurses had caught the virus when treating the patient. While in New York the blood Sample read was faster in locating the virus, causing for better reaction. The nurses have been said to be free of Ebola while stricter monitoring of the outbreak and clean up of patients’ living spaces will be enforced. Extreme measures have been made in Dallas as well as in other places to handle any future contractions of the virus.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because just a few weeks ago Ebola had made it to the United States in Dallas, Texas and had spread due to two nurses being incautious of procedures to take. Now in the United States it is said that Ney York has a person who has the virus meaning it could spread depending on how well officials handle this situation saying that they learned a lesson from dealing with the news in Dallas.
Reaction (I can understand that this happened and I am just incredibly shocked at how close this virus is to where others and I am. We are in Philly and the virus is in New York it is just too close for comfort.)
Opinion (I think people need to take a break from going to Africa for a while because their situation is spreading here and even though were equipped to take care of it in a quick manner, there is still no need to be causing a panic or situation of it being spread to others.)
Connection ( Being prepared is possibly one of the things I am good at, but best believe I am not going anywhere for a while without some wipes and hand sanitizer.)
At least you will be keeping Purell and Lysol in business :)

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Obama to officials: Don't react out of 'fears' of Ebola
Article Date: Tue October 28, 2014
Who: President Obama, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo
Where: U.S.
When: Recently
What happened: President Obama is trying to convince civilians and other political members not to fear Ebola and "not to react out of fear". The governors are trying to mandate all medical workers who are coming from West Africa to be quarantined but the President is trying to say that it is unnecessary. Although the Army that was deployed in West Africa has been quarantined and there is discussion that the whole military will be quarantined as well.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because the Ebola virus is going around now.
Reaction: I was surprised by how the governors handled this situation and how the President is trying to maintain it.
Opinion: My opinion is that the governors are taking this to extremes because the CDC knows how this disease is spreading and are controlling it so the fear makes them nervous probably which is why the president is requesting for them to calm down.
Connection: I've really been interested in the case of Ebola since it's been viral recently and it concerns our health so I've been up to date with what's happening about it.
Great article choice. I am growing a little tired of this panic over Ebola. The government is stepping up and taking every action they need to.

Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I feel like the u.s is taking too long to take out a threat that can harm us.

There are about 5,000 SEPTA employee in the city. Willie Brown said to the media that he doesn't want to strike. We have to strike. The disagreement is about pension and retirement benefits. Mr. Brown also said be prepared for a long strike.
Why this event is relevant: Is a SEPTA strike happens all buses, trains and trolleys will come to a stop and it will be chaos in the streets
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I feel bad if it was a strike because a lot of people cant get around or at school
Opinion (I think..) I believe it is wrong because a lot of people have to take buses to get to places and they have no car neither

Who: U.S troops Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Anthony Salvanto and Fred Backus
Where: Iraq
When: October 23/27-2-14
What happened: U.S airstriked Iraq and Iraw basically wants pay back. Some americans think Obama doesn't have a good enough plan to deal with ISIS. Most republicans supporting the U.s why the democratics are not. Americans view Isis as an major threat the U.s security.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because it envolves the U.s and we need to know about it. I say that because what if Iraq troops try to come to the U.S and start trying to kill people.

Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this because Obama was in it and i wanted to know how he can handle pressure situations like this.
I'm glad you chose this article I posted. I found it interesting how it seems the number of people who think we need ground troops has decreased in the last couple months. Things are not calming down, but getting more heated, yet people are disagreeing with sending ground troops. Why do you think that might be?

ReplyDeleteArticle Title:Will there be a Republican wave in the midterm elections?
Article Date:October 29,2014
Who:The Republicans, Barack Obama
Where: The United States
When: The next upcoming election
What happened: Many people and congressmen believe that the Republican party could possibly control the senate in the next election. Democrats are usually in control, but the republicans have recruited good candidates, the president isn't doing to good with the citizens, and they have more than enough money to compete. In order to win the senate, all they would have to do is get victories in six new states, and not lose the votes in the states they usually win in. The six states they have to win this time are Louisiana, Alaska, Arkansas, Montana, West Virginia, and South Dakota.
Why this event is relevant: I guess you could say this event is relevant because the republicans usually dont win the senate and they have a good chance of doing it this year.
Reaction: im kind of shocked and surprised because the republicans have a good chance off winning or the irst time, and if they do it could be a new day in the USA.
Opinion: I think they might win because the president is a democrat and not to many people like him right now.
Connection: I chose this article because i cant remember the last time republicans were pretty much in the senate and or the USA having a republican president.
Jhamir, keep looking for articles about this. You will be shocked even more. The states that we once blue states are going red and vice versa. We are seeing an interesting shift in politics across this nation.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title- Ferguson police chief: 'I'm going to stay'
Article Date- October 30, 2014
This article brought up the case in Ferguson of 18 year old, Michael Brown, African-American, being shot by a white officer. Darren Wilson, the police officer who fired the shots at the young teen leading to his death, proclaims it as self defense. All the while, Brown was unarmed and seemed to have surrendered when the shots were fired. Darren Wilson says in this article that his will not retire. He says has support in the community but then the article goes on to contradict this statement by saying that there has been many violent acts of the people of Ferguson since the 'incident'. Wilson isn't the only one being judged, Chief Thomas Jackson is also being frowned upon with dismay about the way the court handled the shooting and death of young Michael Brown. This is all important. There comes plenty of times in society where racism is used to cover up wrongfulness and deceitful actions. This is relevant and will always be relevant for as long as equality is poor. Equality is poor because people don't base your wrongs or rights on whether you're WRONG or RIGHT. They base you're wrongfulness on your skin, social class, where you live and other unfair judgements. That's poor! I think that Darren Wilson should have been placed under arrest and sentenced for taking the life of Michael Brown. I say this because I believe in equal equality, not because the color of my skin, but because I know right from wrong.
Excellent post!

Article Date: Oct 29, 2014 6:33 PM
Who: U.S Citizens, U.S Soldiers, ISIS
Where: U.S, Iraq & Syria
When: Oct 23-27 2014
What happened: This article mainly talked about The White House calling citizens about their opinion on whether the U.S should or should not send ground troops to Iraq and Syria to fight ISIS face to face. They made a poll and found that forty-seven percent of citizens agree that the U.S should in fact send ground troops to hostile territory to wipe out the ultimate threat ISIS. However, most government officials still do not agree with sending troops over to Syria or Iraq, after they just finished a 14 year old long war.
Why this article is relevant: This article is relevant because it will soon be the most talked about thing if they do intend on sending troops overseas again. It also determines a lot of people's future.
Reaction: My reaction is anger because I personally think there is no need to send troops overseas after we just got done with a long war.
Opinion: My opinion stays the same how it originally was. I don't think the U.S should send troops overseas. Personally, citizens of the U.S only hear what they want to and that's from the media, that only like to magnify things that are usually not that serious.
Connection: I can make a connection with this because this will ultimately determine my future as a future soldier.

Who: The people involved are President Barrack Obama, Governor Chris Christie, and Democrat Andrew Cuomo.
Where: This event happened in the United States and Africa.
When: October 28 is when this event happened.
What happened:New Jersey Governor Chris Christie recently took a trip to an African country. President Obama went against his methods of dealing with the spreading of Ebola as soon as he came back. Obama believes that Christie’s quarantine policies are solely based upon fear, and this will make Africans work less on the cure.Christie rebuttals by saying that the effects are safe and kill probably help the citizens. Andrew Cuomo of New York also stood by Christie, but as Obama’s opinions and reasons unfolded, he quickly stood back. However, Christie stayed firm. He believe that his quarantine policies will protect his people in a positive light that will benefit all, while Obama believes that it puts more fear into all people, and discourages scientists in Africa.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it shows the battle between safety and morals while dealing with the lives of innocent people. It also raises the question of when do you go completely based on facts and fears, or do you always bring morals and ethics with you?
Reaction: I feel at risk because if two people who represent us cannot even get along to kill a virus.
Opinion: I think they should consult with Africa to come up with a cure. Or at least try to evacuate the most Ebola ridden places.
Connection: I can connect this to the bomb that hit Japan. The bomb put out a gas that killed alot of people, just as Ebola travels and kills people.
