IDEO Challenge: this is a ink to my challenge response

IDEO Ebola Idea

Reflection

I have learned a lot about the virus itself and what it does to your body, like how it blocks the white blood cell alarm and induces a high fever by producing cytokines after it explodes the cells. I think I also really realized the significance it has on the people it affects and their fmailies. Although the virus is widespread, the number of family and friends it affects is exponentially larger. I will try and inform people as much as possible and share with them the IDEO challenge page so that they can begin to educate themselves and collectively work towards a solution. My only question would be if there is a website that focuses on ebola that contains research done (videos, surveys, ideas pages…), because my research was done on the internet and some of the individual websites might not have their facts straight (I veered away from sites and “facts” that did not look correct after I cross-checked them)
