Ebola Threats and U.S. Preparedness

Ebola is surging across Central and East Africa—with nearly 1,000 suspected cases and over 200 deaths—driven by a deadly strain with a 30-50% fatality rate and no approved treatments. Recall the 2014 West Africa outbreak, which sickened 28,000 and killed 11,000, prompting Vermont to prepare after a traveler returned and voluntarily quarantined.
