Read the actual CDC report, especially the Abstract and Conclusion section:
The U.S. government and international organizations recently announced commitments to support these measures. As these measures are rapidly implemented and sustained, the higher projections presented in this report become very unlikely.

I wish my wife would post her thoughts here about Samaritan’s Purse. They are a controversial organization and many NGO's will not associate with them. And it's too bad as they have deep pockets and leading logistics to respond to disasters globally. If you have enough incentive, go read the Wikipedia page on this organization. Also this 11 year old article goes into some great detail about SM.
