WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- The United States will enlarge efforts to control West Africa's outbreak of the Ebola virus, which has killed over 2,400 people thus far.
President Barack Obama will visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta Tuesday to announce a plan for increased U.S. efforts, which could include the involvement of the U.S. military. The president is expected to ask Congress to approve his request for an additional $88 million to fund them.
