The UN special envoy on Ebola, Dr. David Nabarro, said it would take several more months to contain the outbreak in West Africa, adding that the global health agency will not meet its goal to isolate 100 percent of cases by Jan. 1.

Nabarro described the situation as “a collection of a large number of small outbreaks all over the affected countries, possibly as many as a hundred different outbreaks, all at varying stages of evolution, all with different intensity.”
