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/ … pic.twitter.com/h13s2crjLF

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)
