(CNN) - The current outbreak of Ebola is "spreading much faster" than the
international reaction, said one of the discoverers of the virus on October 16.
"This is the first Ebola epidemic in which entire countries are involved as where
entire cities are affected," said Peter Piot, a microbiologist and former UN
undersecretary general to Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN's Global Public
Square. "I keep worrying that the response to the outbreak is actually lagging
behind the virus."
According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO), there
have been nearly 9,000 confirmed and suspected cases, in addition to the nearly
4,500 who have died. However, the WHO warned that there could be up to
10,000 new cases in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone later this year.
Piot, who was part of the team that discovered the virus in 1976 in present day
Democratic Republic of Congo, made headlines in early October when he said to
the British newspaper The Guardian that he feared there was an "unimaginable
catastrophe" if the virus stays in a megacity like Lagos.
