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.

UK BEGINS EBOLA SCREENING

London's Heathrow airport is beginning screening for Ebola of passengers traveling to the UK from at-risk countries.

People who've come from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea will be identified - although there are currently no direct flights to the UK from those countries.

Screening will be extended to Gatwick airport and the Eurostar by the end of the week.

UK officials stress a 'handful' of cases should be expected in the country by the end of the year.

Dr Peter Barlow, infectious diseases expert at Edinburgh Napier University, believes the screening is useful even if the UK is not particularly vulnerable.
