Now to NPR's Anders Kelto in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.He's just returned from the epicenter of that country's Ebola outbreak in the East and he joins us now.Anders, we just heard Doctors Without Borders president Joanne Liu speaking today at the U.N.and she said fear and panic have set in there and that in this fight, quote, Ebola is winning.Is that your sense on the ground in Sierra Leone?Well, most people that I've spoken with here say that they have faith that Ebola will be eliminated from their country soon.And they try to be optimistic but there's definitely a sense of terror and uncertainty.And everywhere you go here, you see signs of Ebola ―there are banners and posters everywhere with warnings, there are chlorine hand wash stations, there's messages on the radioand it's hard not to get the sense that right now Ebola is winning.President Obama today spoke about the need to scale up the international response and to do it quickly.Have you seen any evidence of international help arriving in Sierra Leone?Well, yes and no.There are a number of international NGO's like Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross who are opening new Ebola treatment facilities.In fact, just in the last few days two more have opened.China's constructing a facility.South Africa is running a lab here.In terms of the U.S., the most significant presence that I've seen is the CDC,who have staff running labs here, doing epidemiology and providing training and support for the Sierra Leonean government.
