The United States has at least 13 specialized biocontainment facilities capable of treating Ebola patients, including one at Bellevue in New York City.

Dr. Amish Adalja predicts it will take months to bring the current Ebola outbreak under control.

The current Ebola outbreak is caused by a rarer strain for which there are no specific antibody treatments or an approved vaccine.

During the 2013-2014 Ebola outbreak, U.S. treatment centers successfully treated multiple patients with no secondary cases.

Dr. Amish Adalja believes the only way to end the current Ebola outbreak is to provide resources to the Democratic Republic of Congo to stop it at its source.
