Health workers monitoring the Ebola outbreak warn of a severe trajectory. The current crisis is already among the worst in decades. The Africa CDC chief highlighted the risk of a record‑breaking spread. Containment could require up to a year if infection rates stay high. Flattening the curve is essential to shorten the outbreak.
