A leading American health official has warned that the Ebola outbreak sweeping West Africa will get worse.
The disease has already killed more than 1400 people in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, and Doctors Without Borders warned the tremendous influx of patients in Liberia, in particular, is overwhelming their treatment centers there.
“I wish I didn’t have to say this, but it is going to get worse before it gets better,” Dr Tom Frieden, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said of the outbreak at the end of a visit to Liberia. He described the situation as dire.
