Here are some staggering WHO and CDC predictions for the Ebola outbreak:
On Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to release its own predictions for only Liberia and Sierra Leone — the two West African countries that recently have shown the steadiest and most alarming spread of cases.
The CDC calculations are based, in part, on assumptions that cases have been dramatically underreported. Other projections haven't made the same kind of attempt to quantify illnesses that may have been missed in official counts.
CDC scientists conclude there may be as many as 21,000 reported and unreported cases in just those two countries as soon as the end of this month, according to a draft version of the report obtained by The Associated Press. They also predict that the two countries could have a staggering 550,000 to 1.4 million cases by late January.

1.4 million cases? Jeez !!!
What's the bigger potential problem, Ebola or ISIS?
And doesn't it seem like our responses to both are pathetic?
There seems to be only one thing America is good at any more: bombing people.
