Republican U.S. Senator David Vitter of Louisiana says the U.S. approach on Ebola is flawed because "...it focuses on Africa." 

At the same time, the World Health Organization said today that the number of new Ebola cases in Africa may number as high as 10,000 a week by December of this year. 

If the disease is stopped in Africa, the threat of the disease spreading around the world will be dramatically reduced. 

I've made a second small donation to Ebola relief as part of what I can do to combat the spread of this terrible illness.  

Here is the Ebola relief page of Doctors Without Borders. 

Here is the Ebola relief page for UNICEF.

Maybe there are other organizations you support in the fight against Ebola. 

I have to compose myself for a time to manage the anger at political parties using Ebola as a vote getting tactic. I have to focus on what I can accomplish to help people and focus on seeing us all as connected even as some choose a mean-spirited path. 

I believe we can move forward as individuals and as a connected world. This is the course we must maintain.

We just have to move ahead even though moving ahead is often very difficult.

In case you have  family or co-workers who believe various conservative accounts about how President Obama is responsible for ebola or how ISIS terrorists are streaming across the border, I have included a picture here of nice flowers so you can just let go and look at something pleasant.

We can fight back and we can make progress. But we can't fix it all. So sometimes you just have to let go.

I've made a small donation to UNICEF to assist in the Ebola outbreak going on in parts of Africa. 

There is so much taking place in our nation and in the world, that we can lose sight of people having a hard time in a rough part of our shared earth. 

Here is a story about the current outbreak from The New York Times.

Here are facts about Ebola.

Here is the link to UNICEF.

Here is the link to Doctors Without Borders. 

In the short span of our lives, we can make individual effort to assist larger structures capable of addressing problems we cannot solve on our own.
Government can often be part of the solutions we need to solve big problems.
