The Ebola outbreak that's raging in Africa could rival the outbreak that hit West Africa a decade ago, resulting in upwards of 20,000 cases and 4,000 deaths within the next three months alone.
These projections appear in new analyses from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which modeled just how widespread the current outbreak could get.
Both Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda are racing to contain this outbreak, which was declared an international health emergency by the the World Health Organization in May.
