What are the consequences of the recent Ebola epidemic in West Africa?

Research Question: What are the consequences of the recent Ebola epidemic in West Africa?

Thesis: The consequences of Ebola will harm the area because people who had Ebola will have health problems, the economy will fall, and already weak health care systems will drop extremely low.

• Topic Sentence #1: The health effects of Ebola after treatment will weaken people so they may not be able to work.

• Topic Sentence #2: The already small infrastructure in the area will decline greatly and could lead to even more poverty for years to come.

• Topic Sentence #3: The already weak health care systems will reach the lowest ever, which could lead to many people without treatment.
