CDC RELEASES ESTIMATES OF EBOLA CASES, COULD REACH 1.4 MILLION
Primary tabs
New York Times
CDC releases report on worst and best case estimates for Ebola cases.
Estimates cover Liberia and Sierra Leone, based on computer modeling. Guinea not included because data "cannot be reliably modeled."
Best case-model, which assures the dead are buried safely and 70 per cent of the patients are treated in settings that reduce the risk of transmission, suggest the epidemic could almost be ended by Jan. 20.

NBC version with hopeful quote from CDC director
A surge now can break the back of the epidemic," CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden told reporters.
“It is still possible to reverse the epidemic, and we believe this can be done if a sufficient number of all patients are effectively isolated, either in Ebola Treatment Units or in other settings, such as community-based or home care,” he added in a statement.
“Once a sufficient number of Ebola patients are isolated, cases will decline very rapidly — almost as rapidly as they rose.” A surge now can break the back of the epidemic," CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden told reporters.
