An opinion piece arguing that the Congo Ebola outbreak could spiral without a dramatically scaled, centralized international response. It urges appointing a single leadership body, treating the crisis as a multidimensional operation with experts in command, logistics, security, and communications, and implementing a concrete endgame with targets (e.g., high isolation and safe burial rates) backed by massive resource deployment within 30 days, drawing lessons from the 2014 West Africa outbreak to avert a higher death toll.
