A freelancing cameraman who worked for NBC News was recently diagnosed with the Ebola virus. The 33 year old man was hired Tuesday to be a second cameraman for NBC Chief Medical Editor and Correspondent, Nacny Snyderman,  who is with three other NBC news employees to report on the Ebola outbreak in Monrovia. The man came down with a slight fever on Wednesday, but instantly quarantined himself for insurance. He went to a treatment center on Thursday to find and recieved his realist which diagnosed him positive for Ebola 12 hours later. Upon the request of the family, te name of the man has not been released but it has been known that he was also a writer and had been working in Liberia for various projects. The rest of the crew, including Snyderman, are under close watch for any fevers or symptoms of the illness and the president of NBC News, Deborah Turness claims that she and the staff are doing everything possible to keep the man and her employees safe.

This has taught me that I should be careful and aware of what may happen when working on a project. The man seemed like he had of an idea of what possible things might happen to him considering that he quarantined himself when he found himself to be a bit feverish. Another way of saying of being aware is to have a back up plan, and this is what it has taught me to do. The man was also a freelancer, meaning that he is self-employed and is not committed to any certain company or organization. But the president, Deborah Turness dd claim that she is doing everything possible to keep him safe, showing other potential employees that the NBC Corperation that they care for their employees, regardless of the terms of the time they will be spending working in their place. Depending on whether this she claimed is true or false, this may grab the eye of people who would want to work for a news corporation. Now the question here is will the man be okay? Will he take legal action for being hirt on the job?
