Ebola spread in central Africa could match 2014 record outbreak, US health officials say
US health officials warn that the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa could reach a scale similar to the 2014-2016 West Africa outbreak, which killed over 11,000 people. Modeling by the US CDC suggests potential case numbers ranging from 10,000 to over 20,000, though experts caution that predicting outbreaks remains challenging.
