Ebola outbreak in Central Africa could reach 20,000 cases without strong public health measures

The CDC warns the Central Africa Ebola outbreak could reach 20,000 cases without strong public health measures, with modeling suggesting a worst-case scenario approaching the 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic. Current confirmed cases are 400 with 63 deaths, but experts note underreporting. The outbreak is complicated by armed conflict in Congo, and there are no specific treatments or vaccines for the Bundibugyo virus.
