"Most people think the Ebola epidemic started with a young boy playing in a hollowed out tree that was inhabited by bats. While I agree, I also think it spread like wildfire because of poor economic standing of these countries and their inability to get good medical care."

The current epidemic in Uganda is very unfortunate. Since we currently do not have a vaccine yet; I am thinking if the new Ebola is identified in the US, we need to act fast with public health measures.
Marcie's Feedback
Your thoughts are interesting but too vague. Be more specific to make your response impactful and informative. Go into why the epidemic is unfortunate. Discuss what kind of public health measures will need to be implemented if the epidemic arrives in the U.S. Aim to impress the interviewer with all of your knowledge about this disease.
