An epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) is ongoing. It began in Guinea in December 2013 then spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone.^[6] A few much smaller subsidiary outbreaks have occurred elsewhere, with outbreaks in Nigeria and Senegal that appear to have been successfully contained,^[7] and secondary infections of medical workers with very low case numbers in the United States and Spain,^[8]^[9] neither of which is yet showing any signs of spreading in the general population. As of October 2014^[update], the World Health Organization (WHO), the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local governments reported a total of 8,400 suspected cases and 4,033 deaths (4,633 cases and 2,423 deaths having been laboratory confirmed),^[2] though the WHO believes that this substantially understates the magnitude of the outbreak^[10] with possibly 2.5 times as many cases as have been reported.^[11] On 14 October, during a news conference in Geneva, the assistant director-general of the WHO stated that there could be as many as 10,000 new Ebola cases per week by December 2014.^[12]^[13]
