They also predict that the two countries could have a staggering 550,000 to 1.4 million cases by late January.

i'm sorry that some of you live in fear. It's a very bad thing, but we're safe for now. If you don't approve of doctors doing everything in their power to find a cure, I feel sorry for you.

I understand that people are scared and that they are dying and medical attention is needed.. but what exactly are we doing for these people when we have no cure oh and now people that survived are selling there blood via black market so yay let's spread HIV as well.

I understand that anyone who goes into the military understands that they might be put in harm's way....I don't think they would anticipate being put smack dab in the middle of an epidemic....in a foreign country.

The U.S. State Department has ordered 160,000 Hazmat suits for Ebola, prompting concerns that the federal government is anticipating the rapid spread of a virus that has already claimed an unprecedented number of lives.

In a press release posted by Market Watch, Lakeland Industries, a manufacturer of industrial protective clothing for first responders, announced that it had signaled its intention "to join the fight against the spread of Ebola" by encouraging other suppliers to meet the huge demand created by the U.S. State Department's order of 160,000 hazmat suits.

"With the U.S. State Department alone putting out a bid for 160,000 suits, we encourage all protective apparel companies to increase their manufacturing capacity for sealed seam garments so that our industry can do its part in addressing this threat to global health," states the press release.

The huge bulk order of hazmat suits for Ebola has stoked concerns that the U.S. government expects the virus to continue to ravage countries in west Africa and may also be concerned about an outbreak inside the United States.
