I found this on recominomics.com commentary:

In spite of removal of cases outside of Uige, the total number of reported Marburg cases to date continues to rise. The number of reported cases remaining on the official tally has risen to 264, which is 16 shy of the record death toll for Ebola in Republic of Congo in 1976. Since the beginning of the outbreak last fall, the number of monthly cases has doubled each month. Last month there were approximately 70 cases that have remained on the official list. Since there have been approximately 130 new cases this month that have not been discarded, it seems likely that the number of cases in April will be more than double the number of cases in March.

Fascinating post.

The total number of "official" cases is 13 less than the death toll for Uigi alone. So, 13 people just magically disappeared?

It is interesting that they talk about the number of cases doubling each month. That is clearly exponential.
