Ebola outbreak grows exponentially

Reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) and US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) point to a drastically worsening situation in the West Africa Ebola outbreak. The disease is spreading exponentially in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, with the number of cases doubling roughly every 23 days.
The number of cases could reach 9,000 by the end of September according to the CDC, and the number of new cases each week could hit 10,000 by mid-November according to the WHO. If completely unchecked the CDC predicts that over 550,000 people could be infected, up to 1.4 million if the current number of cases is significantly underreported.
