It was worse than we thought

Ebola Patient Thomas Eric Duncan's Nephew: I Had to Call CDC

America is NOT ready.

America's medical establishment is NOT up to this.

Meanwhile, in Africa.

Outracing vows of aid

In recent weeks, the world has vowed to step up its response to the epidemic, which has been spreading for more than six months. 

The United States has sent a military team to neighboring Liberia with plans to build 18 treatment centers to prop up the broken health system. 

The British have promised to build field hospitals in four urban areas in Sierra Leone, including this one. 

The French are setting up a treatment center and a laboratory in Guinea. 

The Chinese have sent scores of medical personnel to the region and have converted a hospital they built outside Freetown into a holding center for Ebola patients. 

The Cubans have pledged to send more than 400 doctors to help battle the disease in the region.

More, faster, please.
