U.S. Scientists Say Ebola Epidemic Will Rage For Another 12 To 18 Months -- Daily Mail

* As of September 7, there had been 4,366 Ebola cases including 2,218 deaths, more than half of them in Liberia
* The most recent figures from Liberia reported 400 new cases as of September 7 - almost double the number reported the previous week
