The U.S. plans to send 3,000 troops to West Africa as part of its increased efforts to fight the spread of Ebola. President Barack Obama will be in Atlanta today for a briefing from the CDC on the crisis and will detail additional crisis management plans. Some 4,200 people are reported to have been infected with the disease and at least 2,200 deaths have been reported in five countries. Efforts to treat and contain the virus have to date fallen far short of what’s needed to treat those who are sick and monitor the many more who have been exposed. And epidemiologists warn that without urgent action the projections for how the disease will spread are ominous. Please join us to discuss the Ebola crisis and the world’s response.
