福克斯新闻 美国疾病控制与预防中心对埃博拉的爆发拉响警报

CDC Director Tom Frieden just got back from visiting West African nations plagued by Ebola where he says healthcare operations are being overrun and the number of Ebola cases remains¹ high.

(Frieden) "And I'm afraid that over the next few weeks those numbers are likely to increase further and significantly². There is a window of opportunity to tamp³ this down, but that window is closing."

Also, the World Health Organization agreed with the CDC, saying this is the worst Ebola outbreak ever, that it can be controlled, but should be regarded as a global threat.
