NewLiberty once said he was taking his data from WHO (maybe via CDC); if I can retrieve his post I would quote here. Maybe updates have re-attribuited 3 deaths to other causes also your data from WHO are 24hrs newer than his.

Yes ^^

There may be better sources, but sticking with it for consistency unless it is shown to be just wrong.

In the past one month (from March 1 onward), there have been a total of 621 deaths from Ebola. 246 of these occurred in Sierra Leone, 184 in Liberia and 176 in Guinea. Whatever the WHO guys are claiming, I am not seeing any sign of a slow-down.

Despite the growth curve slowing...
It remains the case that the rate of infection and death from this outbreak each month is greater than the sum of all known previous outbreaks ever.

Are those numbers from WHO? Please post the link, I am as scared of this as I was of the bird flu Cheesy

this one is similar enough.
he could be using another source the above link only shows 10.350 deaths as of today.

A while ago everyone was talking about ebola and now that rarely happens .. like all these people whow died from it never did ..

Since the infection started to fade out (as %) - due to less new cases - media outlets interestest faded out as well. Probably, Ebola is still in the big news only in the local media of the affected countries (Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia).

Well it's good the casualties are dropping
Maybe people are acquiring natural immunity or nutrition and cleanliness is starting to reduce the spread of transmission
Since the experimental vaccinations are still in progress

I think the numbers coming out now are crude estimates. It's just to unsafe to get a reliable count in the hot zone. It may have to burn itself out. Cry

You bring up a valid point, estimates are just giving an idea on where we stand. Most deaths are in the hot zone so it is safe if you are not in the hot zone. There seems to be less media FUD on the media lately.

Goonies never say die.

Quote

As Kaizer lay dying, he said he saw the woman in black who had been beckoning to him in his troubled dreams. He could no longer hide from her, she told him, as those gathered around him prayed loudly in tongues.

Abruptly, Kaizer reached for his neck.

“He said he saw the woman, the spirit, standing over him, choking him,” said Rose Mombo, a church member there. “He was fighting.”

Kaizer, his eyes wide open, burst into tears, spat out something and died.

Interesting.

If it was a first world nation dealing with this plague Dr. WHO would already have found a vaccine but because it's West Africa the world will just let them keep dying. Sad

The first world is dealing with the situation. They have established an ebola research centre in Liberia and everything is going to plan.

^^^^

Actually the scariest part is this one:

Quote

Many relatives of Ebola victims are believed to have carried out secret burials across the region because bodies are simply not picked up in time, or the families do not want to surrender relatives for mass incinerations.

Quote

It took half an hour down the Mesurado River to reach Kpoto Island, one of many uninhabited islands up a channel called Creek No. 2. With soft, sandy soil, Kpoto has long been used by the poor to bury their dead. Now, freshly dug graves are obvious in the thick bush.

It seems that the real death toll from Ebola is much higher than that claimed by the WHO.

Scary and tragic! If it was a first world nation dealing with this plague Dr. WHO would already have found a vaccine but because it's West Africa the world will just let them keep dying. Sad

WHO is just republishing the government provided data. And the latter is extremely unreliable.

A example is here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/14/world/africa/in-ebola-outbreak-in-liberia-a-familys-strength-can-be-its-fatal-flaw.html?_r=0

In the article, it is clearly said that people are secretly burying ebola victims, in order to prevent quarantine being imposed on their villages.

Holy shit, that's actually pretty scary.

Quote

Kaizer, infected by his father, soon passed the virus to two aunts. In all, seven members from three generations died in quick succession.
