Ebola Reaches 70% Death Rate

Less than stellar news on the disease front in Western Africa. The World Heath Organization's newest total is that 70% of those infected with Ebola have died, which is obviously higher than the 50% death rate originally believed. They warn that without swift action to curb the spread, numbers could, at the worst reach 1.4 million infected by January. The organization expects 20,000 new cases will occur by November. Ebola has already killed 2,800 people.

Possible good news is that experimental drugs will begin being tested in Western Africa soon. Sierra Leone has closed its borders with Liberia and Guinea as a method of combating the viral disease. Britain is sending volunteers and building a medical facility to help curb the outbreak.

I don't think that's going to be enough but it's better than doing nothing. It's just sucks that the main reason it's going to be so bad is the lack of healthcare and services in the area.
