    Math models on the Ebola outbreak in West Africa present telling findings.

    FOX News Radio’s Eben Brown reports: 

    The Centers for Disease Control say the U.S. and worldwide response to the Ebola epidemic in Western Africa is ramping up at just the right time, as mathematical models show a lack of response now would be utterly devastating.

    (Frieden) “If cases continue to increase exponentially, there will be a lot of them fairly soon.”

    Dr. Tom Frieden, the CDC director says that based on out of date numbers from August, Ebola might have spread to a million or more people, but that won’t happen as long as the global response pushes forward.
