More good news in this article. For the time being, it seems that Nigeria's outbreak has been contained.

The article says an already existing Gates Foundation funded emergency coordinating center for polio outbreaks was used for this Ebola outbreak in Nigeria. When I first read a while back that Ebola was in Lagos, its sprawling mega-city of a capital, I had a sinking feeling, but this is good news. People died, but the chain of transmission seems to have been broken.

Nigeria is a relatively wealthy African country, with a decent public health infrastructure from what I've read in the past, so Nigeria's experience is probably more indicative of what might happen in a First World outbreak, rather than being an example for other much poorer African countries.
