While WHO has soft peddle their numbers in some past instances bowing to UN political pressures, in this instance Ebola has just overwhelmed the health workers strugling to deal with the Ebola outbreak. They are woefully understaffed, contracting the disease themselves.

Add to that the uncountable possible cases in the Liberian cordoned off ghettos and the "ghost patients previously unknown hidden cases, drifting into care centers and the scope of the problem becomes evident. And then there is the matter of false negative test results on the living and dead.

It's not like taking morning roll call at summer camp. So the usual Fri afternoon WHO report does get adjust and data anomalys sometimes appear.

WHO has also been trying to get airlines to resume flights in/out of these countries, claiming that all is needed is checks at airports. They claim (and possibly rightly so) that the isolation will lead to more problems, mainly in food and supply shortages.

It's a tough problem with several dimensions. I'm surprised the West (US/Europe) isn't more involved in the issue.
