The geographic themes of region and place prove that geography is destiny in Western Africa because if there is a virus in your specific or general area, you are most likely going to get infected.
The region theme of geography shows that you have a better chance of getting infected by a virus if you live in a certain area. According to the article “Coca-Cola Battles Ebola,” the three Western African countries that had been affected by Ebola are Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. This proves that those people are getting infected and dying because they live in that specific region where Ebola is spreading. “The Ebola Threat Demands Attention” article states that Ebola is threatening to spread to the United States, specifically towards the North-West region because the two infected aides moved to Alaska to be treated. Therefore if you live in the North-West region of America, your destiny could end up being that you get infected with Ebola.

The geographic theme place shows that your destiny is determined if you live in a specific city. This is because in the article “Controlling the Ebola Epidemic” Sierra Leone had the highest number of cases of Ebola. This shows that if you live in Sierra Leone you have higher chance of becoming infected. On the other hand, your destiny can also be better if you live in a better location. According to the article “Coca-Cola Battles Ebola,” 25 thermometers were delivered to S.D Cooper Clinic, Benson Hospital. James Davis, Redemption, SOS, and Dr. Swaray Medical Center in Paynesville. This demonstrates that the people who live near or in those hospitals and health centers have a better chance at thriving by using the thermometers. In conclusion, where you live can and does affect your destiny because you can more easily get infected by viruses or any disasters that may occur.
I think what you wrote is very well written with great facts. I was interested about how it can get into the U.S. I think it is very likely to spread around the world and become a bigger deal than it is now. Do you think it will spread to the US? If so how long will it take?
