(Reuters) - Between 550,000 and 1.4 million people in West Africa could be infected with the Ebola virus by January 20, 2015, according to a study published on Tuesday by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  
The top range of the estimate, 1.4 million, assumes that the number of cases, 5,864 according to the count kept by the World Health Organization, is significantly underreported, and that it is likely that 2.5 times as many cases, or about 15,000, have in fact occurred.

The reason for this is that Doctors and scientists know more about Covid-19 now than 3 months ago and hence are able to treat patients better.

Daily confirmed new cases (5-day moving average)
Outbreak evolution for the current 10 most affected countries

I will list *5 important things* that we know now that we didn't know in February 2020 for your understanding.

Now we know that just providing oxygen by ventilators will not help but we have…

If you are looking for dermatologist reviews, prices and recommended dermatologists in Singapore, you are in the right place. 

Just so that we are on the same page, a skin specialist is a dermatologist if he holds a professional medical degree with further post-graduate training in skin diseases.

If you are looking for an affordable dermatologist or are worried that the dermatologists in the private sector are expensive, you could always try to get a referral to see a dermatologist in the public or government sectors e.g. National Skin Centre, SGH or NUH.
