The stats from Sept. 7 to Sept. 10 show a rise in Ebola cases at about 165 per day and deaths of about 70 per day. Keep in mind that these stats are probably underreported by a factor of at least 4 so it is more like 600 new cases per day and almost 300 deaths per day. The underreporting is getting more severe as their health systems continue to breakdown and turn away even more patients.

Ebola is deadly. It doesn’t take much of it to infect others. If it were as hard to catch as much of the officials have indicated, there would be no need for level 4 bio-containment in these “hot zones” - standard isolation measures would work. JMHO
