　　Nearly 4,000 people in West Africa have died during the current Ebola epidemic, and globalhealth authories expect to see thousands more infections there. The Spanish nurse became thefirst person to become infected outside West Africa. The only case diagnosed in the UnitedStates has been that of a Liberian man who had traveled from Liberia to Dallas and died in ahospital there Wednesday. Three infected American aid workers were transferred from WestAfrica to American hospitals and treated successfully, and a freelance cameraman for NBC whobecame infected in Liberia has been transferred to a hospital in Nebraska, where he isundergoing treatment.
