Ebola outbreak could reach 10,000 new cases per week

As nations continue to grapple with the spread of Ebola the World
Health Organization estimates that the death rate for the virus is
around 70%. A revision to their previous estimate that was around the
50% mark.

These comments came from the World Health Organization's assistant
director-general Dr. Bruce Aylward stating it is a "high mortality
disease."

Speaking at a news conference he added that "a lot more people will
die" if the world's response isn't stepped up within 60 days.

Currently there's around 1,000 new cases of Ebola per week and the UN
health organization say they're committed to isolate 70% of cases
within a two month period to reverse the outbreak.
