TL;DR

US CDC modeling suggests Central Africa's Ebola outbreak could reach 10,000–20,000+ cases, potentially rivaling West Africa's 2014–16 crisis if infected individuals aren't quickly isolated; about 400 confirmed cases and 63 deaths have been reported amid conflict and displacement that complicate response, with the WHO declaring a global health emergency in May.
