209. The true test of character comes not
when things go wrong, but when things
are going well.
When thing go wrong, that’s when most
people turn to, or return to God.
210. But when life is prosperous and no
rainclouds are in sight, it’s all too easy
not to invest time in a deep relationship
with God.
But when the train hits hard, a steady
foundation in the Lord is vital.
211. For a time, Israel prospered and forgot the
One True God. The nation turned their backs
on the Creator, and they’ve paid
the consequences.
Jeremiah, the prophet was their last hope
of turning things around.
212. So it be with great, prosperous nations
like the U.S.
Have we become so powerful that pride
has blinded our spirits in a culture
where “anything goes?”
213. Let’s dig deep into Jeremiah together
and be inspired to live in God’s
demanding love.

“Very well done. Good study length per
chapter. Highly recommend it, as it
closely parallels the times we are living

Practicing standard infection control precautions,
including hand washing and wearing appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE)
prevents exposure.
Ebola Virus Disease
W h a t Yo u N e e d t o K n o w
253. Risk of Infection
ƒƒ
Just being in a country where people are ill
with Ebola is not dangerous.
Contact with healthy individuals
and most everyday activities do not increase
a person’s risk of becoming infected.
Ebola Virus Disease
W h a t Yo u N e e d t o K n o w
254. Risk of Infection
ƒƒ
Although people can be infected with Ebola virus
and not yet feel sick, they are not contagious
until they have symptoms.
Ebola Virus Disease
W h a t Yo u N e e d t o K n o w
255. Risk of Infection
ƒƒ
By the time a person is very infectious to others,
they are typically very ill and not walking around
or doing normal activities.
Ebola Virus Disease
W h a t Yo u N e e d t o K n o w
256. Vaccines
ƒƒ
No FDA-approved vaccine is currently available
to protect against Ebola virus infection.
The experimental Ebola virus vaccines are so early
in development that safety testing has just started.

ƒƒ
The Department of Defense is closely monitoring
the testing of new Ebola virus vaccines
and treatments.
Ebola Virus Disease
W h a t Yo u N e e d t o K n o w
258. Treatment
ƒƒ
Standard treatment for Ebola is supportive care
which is balancing the patient’s fluids
and electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status
and blood pressure,
and treating them for any complicating infections.

Successful recovery from an Ebola virus infection
likely depends more on early recognition
and treatment with supportive care
at a state-of-the-art hospital
than on the experimental treatment now available.
