2nd healthcare worker that treated Mr. Duncan comes down with Ebola; so far 4500 have perished. CDC admits that it did not do enough.

• Liberia’s transport minister has gone into quarantine after her personal driver died from Ebola
• The World Health Organization (WHO) warns the infection rate could reach 5,000 to 10,000 new cases a week in two months if efforts are not stepped up
• CDC chief Thomas Frieden said there had been a breach of protocol by health workers that led to the nurse becoming infected.

  “The CDC is saying that protocols were breached, but the nurses are saying there were no protocols,” the head of the national nurses union, Roseann DeMoro, told reporters on Tuesday.

  Mr Frieden later said he regretted not sending a larger team of experts to Texas when the first case of Ebola was diagnosed.

  “We could’ve sent a more robust hospital infection control team and been more hands-on with the hospital from day one about exactly how this should be managed,” he said on Tuesday.
