New Ebola Cases May Soon Reach 10,000 a Week, Officials Predict - NYTimes.com

New Ebola Cases May Soon Reach 10,000 a Week, Officials Predict - NYTimes.com: "the World Health Organization reported that new cases could reach 10,000 a week by December — 10 times the current rate.

The head of the new Ebola Emergency Response Mission, Anthony Banbury, told the Security Council that none of the three most heavily affected countries — Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea — is adequately prepared. Only 4,300 treatment beds will be available by Dec. 1, according to current projections, and even those would not have an adequate number of staff members. The acceleration of new cases, if not curbed, could easily overwhelm them."
