Ebola Outbreak Could Harm Equal Protection for People

The Ebola outbreak in the United States is rapidly increasing every day and could lead to many more cases if the treatment is not taken care of soon. Unfortunately people affected with this disease can soon see their rights start to drop as normal citizens. Some schools have already begun to ban the acceptance of students into their school based on the country they are transferring from for fear of the virus. This completely violates equal protection among people but is it justified? The fear that Ebola can spread throughout the United States is very serious and this type of outbreak can be related to that of the Swine Flu but it is much more deathly. People who have had the virus and are now okay may also be prohibited from gaining certain jobs and getting the fair treatment in these cases. This is a bad case of discrimination amongst many people.
