More strikingly, officials said that as many as 85,000 body bags are needed, if the disease is to be contained.

Liberia is the worst Ebola-hit country, with 2,458 dead so far. Worldwide, there have been over 9,000 cases reported, most of them in West Africa, but also a handful in Senegal, Spain, and the United States.

Last week, the World Health Organization issued a stark warning that there could be as many as 10,000 new Ebola cases per week by December, if radical action is not taken.
