#1 the WHO with a budget of $4.2 billion have abandoned their regular updates on new infections / deaths

the infection numbers have been growing at about 150% every 2 weeks. at that rate, in six months a million people per month will be getting it

#4 India in general would be conducive to the spread of Ebola. Especially in the cities, in the slums. If it gets out in India things will get really nasty. No posdible way to contain it.

#5 The Indians are almost certainly small traders and possibly some of their families. Liberians aren't generally very happy with them, any more than they were with the Lebanese before them, and as far as I know social interactions are minimal. My guess would be that none of the Indians had been invited to Liberian funerals, or cared for sick Liberians. The main question--and I've heard both yes and no--is can they have been infected by handling objects (e.g. coins) previously handled by someone infected?
