Texas is technically Ebola-free, as of writing, while two countries in West Africa have successfully won the fight against the deadly virus.

The World Health Organization (WHO) predisposed that deaths in Africa could reach 10,000 per week before Christmas.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins told press on Monday that 43 suspected Ebola patients have been cleared out the disease, and 120 more are waiting to get past the 21-day monitoring period.

Among the survivors is Thomas Eric Duncan's fiancée, Louise Troh, who expressed her relief that the distress on Ebola is finally "coming to an end."  Jenkins added that there was CNN's report on Sunday saying that all 48 patients will be discharged by midnight was premature.

Despite "widespread and intense transmission" in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, Nigeria was proclaimed Ebola-free after incurring 19 confirmed cases and seven deaths.  The WHO commended Nigerian health officials for their ability to contain 100 percent of the possible points of contact during the first outbreak in Lagos and 99.8 percent in Port Harcourt.

Before Nigeria was declared a safe country again, the WHO ran a 42-day active surveillance with no new cases identified.  Meanwhile, Senegal was also declared free from Ebola as well as Spain, where a nurse's aide spent weeks in a hospital in Madrid after contracting the disease.

The WHO is confident that other wealthy nations with advanced health systems in place can learn something valuable from Nigeria's experience.

In United States, the Pentagon has assigned a 30-man team to provide quick response in providing direct treatment to any points in the country.  It is composed of 20 nurses, five doctors, and five trainers who will be dispatched at any given time next month, press secretary John Kirby said.

President Barrack Obama's appointed Ebola czar and Democrat lawyer Ron Klain, whose duties will commence on Wednesday, the White House confirmed.

Currently, the WHO recorded 4,500 deaths from Ebola in West Africa alone with fear of worsening scenarios each day.
