The most dire predictions I recall had on the order of a few tens of thousands infected. Currently, over 20,000 have been, in the face of a global effort to bring the outbreak under control.

Not so...

Sept 23, 2014 - "The CDC in Atlanta, meanwhile, released a new model for the spread of the deadly virus. Its worst-case scenario estimates that up to 1.4 million people could be infected by the end of January."

Scouter's projections (posted here on FR on Oct 31) - 212,446 Cases. Initial projections from Sept 22-405,814 Cases

Let's not re-write the history of the panic here at FR by some...who were calling those who said it was not going to go nuts here in the US "crazy"
