Just 6 years after Ebola killed more than 11,000 people, West African nations are bracing for a coronavirus spike

that the wider African continent could see as many as 123 million cases and 300,000 deaths this year.

"If we get a large number of cases, we're going to get overwhelmed and we may have to make some hard decisions. Some people will have to die," Mosoka Fallah, head of Liberia's Public Health Institute, told Business Insider Weekly.Experts warn the African continent could see as many as 123 million coronavirus cases and 300,000 deaths this year.

And for those with the virus, a system of contact tracing, again learned from Ebola, has kicked into action. Liberia only has around 200 doctors to go around — not to mention just 180 intensive-care hospital beds and a handful of ventilators,. If a large-scale outbreak hits the country, "we're probably going to run out of PPEs within a matter of weeks," one doctor, Heounohu Hessou, said.
