WHO chief visits Ebola outbreak epicenter in eastern Congo as cases outpace response

The response has not kept pace with one of the fastest-spreading outbreaks on record, Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, warned on Saturday.  "Never before has an Ebola outbreak recorded so many cases so soon after its declaration."

Dr. Alan Gonzalez, MSF's deputy director of operations, said in a statement. "Nobody knows the true scale and severity of this outbreak."

Will it escape Africa?  Given there is NO TREATMENT & NO VACCINE available yet, it seems pretty likely to cause significant DEATH inside the Dark Continent.  How many Dead will we end up with?  Will it top 1000?  1M? 1 BILLION ?!?!? 😬👿 What's the over-under on this?  Will it have legs or will it peter out?

The more cases we get, the more likely it becomes there will be mutations.  If it goes airborne or crosses species, we're cooked.  If it hits the Avian population that will bring it to Europe pretty quickly.

On the positive side, if it gets bad enough we won't have to worry about Hormuz and the Oil trade. 😀
