With more than 1600 people in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone having contracted Ebola since March, CDC Director Frieden’s “deeply concerned about Lagos, Nigeria” worst nightmare looks set to come true as the pace of cases (and deaths) in the nation begins to accelerate. As the following chart shows, Nigeria – now in a state of national emergency – has this to look forward to (though on a scale significantly higher since population density is dramatically higher).
This is already the worst outbreak in history…
Which as CDC Director Frieden fears…
Deeply concerned about Ebola spread in Lagos, Nigeria. Urgent emergency response needed.
