After reviewing the quite hilarious clip from from The Daly Show we were asked to write a response to Jon Stewarts position. I believe his take on the Ebola Outbreak was spot on, we as a nation tend to blow everything out of proportion. Our biggest issue is our own fear. This clip shows the difference between our media coverage and the media coverage in Ghana which is only 2 countries away from the outbreak. It is unbelievable to watch our media lose their minds over this and treat this as though it is an imminent threat to the US they imply that we will all be infected with this disease very soon. The coverage in Ghana on the other hand was extremely calm, not alarming at all. The outbreak in Africa is very serious and shouldn't be taken lightly and if handled improperly will result in more illnesses. We as a nation should be focusing on stopping this disease instead they seem to be focusing on spreading fear even in those who may be in a position help, like the doctors and nurses from the US in Africa dealing with sick patients.
