Now, with 1,779 cases, including 961 deaths and a small cluster in Nigeria,
the outbreak is out of control and still getting worse. Not only is it
the largest ever, but it also seems likely to surpass all two dozen
previous known Ebola outbreaks combined. Epidemiologists predict it will
take months to control, perhaps many months, and a spokesman for the
World Health Organization said thousands more health workers were needed
to fight it.
