#1 This could be how the outbreak slows down & eventually comes to halt, unless there is some huge collection of sick Ebola patients that is being kept secret. All along the reported numbers of affected patients in the Hot Zone have been very, very doubtful.

#2 "We should not be complacent too early and start to celebrate because we still have this enemy in our corridors."

Was he referring to the outbreak, or the upcoming midterm ?

#3 Hmmm, burned itself out,did it, so much for the hysterical screaming by the newspapers, which you WON'T hear about.

#4 I'm sure the WHO will be screaming for at least one more donation drive today

#5 Red Cross: Huge Drop in Ebola Bodies across Liberian Capital

Hopefully they're not getting up at night and walking away. We've seen that movie before. We have our own Day of the Living Dead celebrated on 4 November.

#6 It seems communicating what not to do is working.

Something that would work better in a capital city with better communications - TV, mobile, than in remoter areas.

Very encouraging, but until we see the same kind of declines in remoter places, I'd say we are not out of the woods yet.

#7 according to the WHO, relying on figures however which are now 10 days out-of-date.

Anybody still alive there to count the bodies ?

#8 we see the same kind of declines in remoter places That's the big unknown in the Hot Zone. Expect we will learn later about depopulated rural regions as the investigation continues.

#11 correct chris the WHO are in fact screaming for US$260 million to put on top of their US $4.27 billion annual budget

which they didn't use to stop ebola back in february when it was just one village in guinea

plus they never advised travel restrictions as it spread through 8 countries because their political masters in government in guinea, liberia and SL told them not to because it would harm the economy

#12 thanks John QC i only just discovered that new WHO disease update notification on reddit. Previously I'd been checking the website where they posted all their updates.... and that ceased august 27

#13 there is another reason it's slowing. Read that WHO report John QC linked to. The statistics artificially spiked last time they gathered them as it was more methodical and caught a heap of hidden cases. That's why it would look like it's going down this time as they are just working off a base that spiked artificially. My bet is it's still grinding on the same as ever. 150% increase every 2 weeks
