New cases of Ebola could reach 10,000 per week by December as the virus outbreak races out of control in West Africa, a World Health Organization official said Tuesday.
WHO Assistant Director-General Bruce Aylward also said the death rate, which had been estimated at about half of those who become infected, has risen to about 70%.

	The disease is expanding into more areas of those countries, Aylward said. But he denied that overwhelmed treatment centers would consider simply isolating people without actually treating them. "It would be horrifically unethical to suggest that we're simply going to isolate people," he said. New strategies such as handing out protective equipment to families and setting up very basic clinics is a priority, he added. As of Tuesday morning, 8,914 Ebola cases and 4,447 deaths had been reported to WHO. Alyward stressed that the true number of deaths and infections is probably much higher.
