Obama told NBC's &quot;Meet the Press&quot; that the outbreak, which has killed 2,100 people in African five countries, was unlikely to spread to the United States in the short term. &quot;If we don't make that effort now, and this spreads not just through Africa but other parts of the world, there's the prospect then that the virus mutates. &quot;If we do that, then it's still going to be months before this problem is controllable in Africa,&quot; he said.</p><br clear="all"/>
