While the US is panicking about three Ebola cases in one month, parts of West Africa are deteriorating rapidly, with little sign that the region is getting the outbreak under control.
Ebola has hit Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone the hardest because these countries don't have healthcare systems that are equipped to handle the disease.
Nurses at hospitals in these countries are "lightly trained and minimally protected" and Ebola patients are dying "surrounded by pools of infectious waste," according to a report in The New York Times.
Some hospitals don't have access to running water, soap, and clean needles, which are all crucial to controlling and preventing further spread of disease.
More than 4,000 people have died in this year's Ebola outbreak, and most of the deaths have occurred in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. These countries are seeing "widespread and persistent" transmission of Ebola, according to the latest report from the World Health Organization.
In total, this outbreak has seen nearly 9,000 reported cases of the disease. Nearly a third of those cases have been reported in the past 21 days. That includes infections in 427 healthcare workers, 236 of whom have died.
Here's a look at the areas the outbreak is hitting:

And we do?????
No flights into this country for anyone from Africa. SEAL IT NOW!
YIKES!
Maybe we should give them a lot of US visas. /sick and disgusted s
This is a surprise? Sounds more like a job for Capt. Obvious.
Unfortunately, West Africa has reached the point where the only solution is isolation until it is over.
It should be a lesson to the rest of the world of what they need to do in their own countries.
The Who is definitely sounding the alarm.

We send our military and National Guard over there to become infected and bring it home with them...
Great idea, Obama...
WHO sounds the alarm, and Obama and Frieden are telling us it is no big deal.
Even shep Smith was telling us all today to calm the heck down.
Morons all.
Travel ban now!!
I couldn’t think of a more apt epitaph for Barack Obama.
Send Obama and Frieden over there. They said it is hard to catch.
When they described the lack of adequate facilities to handle obola thought they were discussing us!
I like the idea...but from what I am reading the genie is already out of the bottle. Cases are already reported in several counties in Europe.
Man...I just love the global world we live in.
The Congo is missing from the map.
Yep, while the civil unrest ushered in with the adept hands of one retiring AG causes American to burn within.
I bet the Fruit of Islam are at the top of the recruitment list for the “civilian security force, just as powerful, just as well funded as the military.”
How a tire company shut Ebola down

I like this one. It shows the LABS (where they do bio-weapon defense research). It must be just a coincidence that they overlap the infected regions.
And here is a Fairly decent, almost up to date map.
And this is the death trap that Obama sends our troops into. I SPIT ON HIM!
