WHO warns Ebola cases could soar to 10,000 a week

CDC’s new Ebola model estimates the potential future impact of the epidemic. According to the model’s worst case scenario, which assumes no change in the trajectory of the epidemic and also corrects for underreporting, the number of Ebola cases in Liberia and Sierra Leone together could reach 1.4 million by the end of January 2015. This translates into a whopping 14% cumulative prevalence rate. To put this in perspective, an equivalent rate in the U.S. population would be almost 45 million people nationally, and more than 90,000 in Washington, DC alone.

If something even close to this scenario occurs, it'll be a financial wipe-out in the markets.

Well now.........it looks like another 'volunteer' has come down with the deadly disease after treating our 'visitor' from Liberia.......it's all good.
 
What's tragic to me is that these people assumed they would be safe and contracted a deadly disease while treating a man who died anyways.
