Deadly Ebola Virus is rapidly spreading much faster |

The first human trial of an experimental Ebola vaccine will begin this week as the deadly outbreak continues to spread. According to the World Health Organization, there are now more than 3,000 cases. More than 1,500 people have died from the virus in West Africa. Health officials say that number may be much higher due to the rapid spreading of the virus. “What we’re seeing is a spiraling of cases, really a hugely fast increasing basis that’s harder and harder to manage,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, Director of CDC. “I hope we’ll have a treatment. We can’t count on it. We know that the method that we used has stopped every Ebola outbreak today but what we have to do now is scale them up massively.” The Ebola vaccine trial will take place on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Maryland. Officials expect to reveal the results of the trial by the end of the year.
