INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As soon as possible after you move to the state, find a job and start paying state income taxes, if applicable. Maintaining employment and paying state income taxes is the biggest way to establish residency. It not only demonstrates your intent to stay in the state, but also can help you show your financial independence, if it proves necessary for you to do so. If the state has state income tax, those taxes will typically be withheld from your paycheck automatically, provided you give your employer an in-state address. When you move to a new state, state law requires you to get a driver's license soon after you move. In some states, such as California, you have as few as 10 days to get a driver's license or state ID. Other states may give you as long as 30 days. If you delay getting a driver's license, your residency may not be considered to start until the date you get your driver's license. If you own a vehicle and intend to establish residency in the state, you must transfer your registration to the new state soon after you move. Most states allow less than 30 days after you've settled in the state. When you transfer your registration, you'll also need to update your insurance. If you were carrying state-minimum insurance coverage in your old state, make sure you update your policy to account for any differences in your new state. Keep records of the date you transfer your registration and insurance. You can use them to support your claim that you are an in-state resident. When you register to vote in your new state, you demonstrate that you intend to stay there and are interested in being an active and informed part of the community. Registering to vote also gives you the power to vote for state and local elected offices. Since you can only be registered to vote in one state, when you register to vote in your new state, your registration in your old state will be canceled. Show the school your voter registration card as proof. You don't have to prove that you voted in any particular elections. If you have a bank account with an out-of-state bank, close it and open a new account in your new state. If you have an account at a bank that has branches in both your new state and your previous state, update your address. Direct deposit and online banking can make it so that you never step foot in a physical bank branch. However, it's still a good idea to make sure there's a branch of your bank that is reasonably convenient to where you live and work. Keep in mind that the people reviewing your application for in-state residency status will be older and may not be as familiar with online banking options.

SUMMARY: Get a job in the state and pay state income taxes. Get a driver's license or state ID card in your new state. Transfer your car's registration and insurance to your new state. Register to vote in your new state. Maintain bank accounts within the state.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remember, time is of the essence, not only to address your symptoms before they become too severe (should you have Ebola), but also to prevent additional spread of the infection. If you have a fever or body aches but have not been near an Ebola outbreak region (or person who visited one), you probably don't have to worry. Likewise, if you've had such exposure risks but have no symptoms, you are unlikely to be infected. It's when both factors (symptoms and risk factors) are present that immediate action needs to be taken. Diagnosis via symptom is somewhat difficult, because the symptoms are general. If you're experiencing any of the symptoms described in the previous section of the article, however, and you're in an area with reported infections, it's essential that you go to the hospital immediately and have a diagnostic test performed. Depending on the facility and the amount of time since your symptoms appeared, any of the following diagnostic tests may be performed: Antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing IgM ELISA (Immunoglobulin M enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Virus isolation If you're in an area of infection and suspect that you may be infected, contact the CDC immediately to report your illness. Keeping the disease contained is essential, meaning that new infections need to be reported as quickly as possible in order to deploy resources and put efficient quarantines into place. The CDC main phone number is 800-232-4636 (CDC-INFO). Outside the U.S., contact the comparable health organization in that nation. Or, contact the World Health Organization (WHO) at + 41 22 791 31 11. Although some promising testing has been done, there is currently no vaccine or other "cure" for Ebola, so most of the treatment available involves addressing the specific symptoms and making the patient comfortable. Common symptom treatments include the following: Maintain your electrolytes and stay hydrated. One of the most uncomfortable symptoms of the disease is severe diarrhea and nausea, making it important that you stay hydrated and keep your electrolytes up. Sports drinks can be used for mild dehydration, but IV-drip should be used in serious cases. Monitor your blood pressure and control it if necessary. Rising blood pressure can destabilize a patient, while dropping blood pressure may be a serious sign of infection, making it important to keep your blood pressure under control. Health care workers should therefore keep a close watch on your blood pressure. Breathe in an oxygen-rich environment. Difficulty breathing and chest pains are common in the infected, so oxygen is typically administered to make breathing as easy as possible. If you're struggling to get your breath, talk to a health practitioner immediately and have your oxygen levels checked. Quickly address any symptoms of infection. It's important to communicate openly with the hospital staff and let them know of any discomfort or complications so that they may address your symptoms programmatically. Infections need to be treated locally with antibiotics and addressed swiftly, so be honest about when and where you're feeling pain. In the end, despite the best efforts of your medical providers, there's not much to be done but to try to ride out the disease. Keep your strength up, stay hydrated, and try to get as much rest as possible. The disease is fatal in roughly 50% of the cases, but patients in good health with strong immune systems can often pull through if swift care is provided and safe recovery practices are followed. Currently, there have been but a few vaccine trials that have shown promise, but scientists are working around the clock to develop effective measures to combat Ebola. Check with the CDC or WHO periodically for more information regarding potential vaccines/cures, and for up-to-date, general information about Ebola.

SUMMARY:
Seek medical attention immediately if you have possible symptoms and risk of exposure. Undergo diagnostic testing if warranted. Contact the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) immediately. Address symptoms as they arise. Rest and wait. Stay abreast of treatment options.
