My Way News - WHO: 21,000 Ebola cases by November if no changes
My Way News reports: "New estimates from the World Health Organization warn the number of Ebola cases could hit 21,000 in six weeks unless efforts to curb the outbreak are ramped up. Since the first cases were reported six months ago, the tally of cases in West Africa has reached an estimated 5,800 illnesses. WHO officials say cases are continuing to increase exponentially and Ebola could sicken people for years to come without better control measures."

Comment: I don't think that is the proper use of the term "exponentially" but I take their meaning. If people were being infected with Ebola at an exponential rate (a constant rate of growth applied to a continuously growing base ), it would suggest the virus has mutated into something much more communicable. That has not happened...yet.
