I'll just copy a few, the ones at the top with no date must be from today.
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · 11h What does it mean for @WHO DG Chan to say her agency is "just normative" & when #Ebola crisis is underway? If #WHO can't lead, who can?
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · 11h Latest #Ebola numbers from @WHO whih only include lab-confirmed cases that are in the system http://who.int/csr/don/2014_08_19_ebola/en/

Reply by someone else: Jena Marie @JenaArtMuse 5h @Laurie_Garrett @WHO Since these totals only include lab-confirmed, the 1000 cases in Sierra Leone found by 2 contact tracers go uncounted.
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · Aug 18 The Number 2 need in #Ebola epidemic now is healthcare workers, but who, from where? The danger & difficulty are so high that volunteers = 0
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · Aug 18 The Number One need in the #Ebola epidemic is an answer to this: "Who's in charge?" It's NOT @WHO or @MSF_USA or the govts. It's noone.
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · Aug 18 The numbers you have heard for the scale of #Ebola cases/deaths in Africa "grossly underestimate the reality," sources tell me today.
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · Aug 18 Every hospital in Monrovia #Liberia is over capacity w/ #Ebola patients.Desperate need for healthcare workers --10Xs current staffing.(more)
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · Aug 18 Sources tell me #Liberia health care system nationwide is in collapse. One 40-bed hospital has 137 #Ebola patients & no room for else (more)
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · Aug 18 In Freetown #SierraLeone sources tell me there's dire need to come up w/new methods 4 contact tracing, 2 find some1000 #Ebola cases (more)
Laurie Garrett @Laurie_Garrett · Aug 18 The #Ebola situation in Freetown #SierraLeone is desperate. Sources tell me at least 1000 people are infected, but unaccounted for (more)

"Ghana will not record a single case..." "Hope he's right"It sounds like he is just going to refuse to acknowledge them. I hope he doesn't record any because he doesn't have any. But I fear his boasting may reflect that he has the power to silence the reporting.

Night Stalkers to Continue training over cities until ThursdayThis may not be related, but the Highland Park suburb is approximately 15 miles away from Brooklyn Park, which houses most of the 25,000 people of Liberian ancestry/origin in the Twin Cities, and was home to Dr. Sawyer who died of Ebola in Lagos, Nigeria after getting off the plane.

“Ebola crisis: Liberian troops impose slum quarantine”
You really have to wonder how many people who live in this slum work for the well to do as gardeners, cooks, nannies, housekeepers, etc. Will they sneak out somehow to go to to work?

"Liberian police fire tear gas to disperse protest over Ebola quarantine Because a riot is just what you want in the middle of an outbreak of a level 4 pathogen.
_____________________________________________
I'll see your riot and raise a NIH stupidity.
NIH to UWM, "Say, we've been reviewing our records and see that you didn't have the funds for a Level-4 lab to study Ebola. We can't help fund it but what do you say we reduce precautionary requirements to, oh what the heck, let's say Level-2 and you're good to go."

MADISON, WIS. A University of Wisconsin-Madison scientist is studying a noninfectious strain of the Ebola virus.
The university's biosafety manager Rebecca Moritz says Yoshihiro Kawaoka is testing potential drug therapies for the virus. Moritz says not a lot is known about the virus.
The State Journal reports Kawaoka is doing the research if labs that are classified with biosafety levels of two and three, which require some precautions.
The National Institutes of Health in 2006 told Kawaoka his Ebola research needed to be done in a level four lab, the highest level. Since the university didn't have such a lab, Kawaoka stopped his research. In 2010, the NIH reversed its decision and said the work could be done in a level two lab.
