WHO: Ebola outbreak could infect 20,000 people
The World Health Organization says that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa could infect more than 20,000 people over the next six months.
Dr. Bruce Ayleward is the Assistant Director-General for the World Health Organization. He said medical experts, in his words, are seeing today, in contrast to previous Ebola outbreaks: multiple hotspots within these countries not a single, remote forested area, the kind of environments that have been tackled in the past. And then not multiple hotspots within one country, but international disease.
The WHO is launching a plan designed to control the spread. The effort could take up to nine months and almost 500 million dollars. The organization also warned the disease would kill thousands more people before it is contained.
An experimental Ebola vaccine from GlaxoSmithKline is being tested on volunteers. The drug company hopes to produce 10,000 doses for emergency deployment, if the results are good.
