Geneva - More than 2,000 people have died in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the World Health Organisation said on Friday, out of about 4,000 patients thought to have been infected in the three countries worst hit by the disease.
The death toll in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone totaled 2,097 as at 5 Sept, out of 3,944 cases, a WHO document said.
1800 survivors, 2097 dead, would mean only 47 active cases. Perhaps now you will understand why I asked.
Only 47 active cases? I doubt that is the situation.
I’d have to look at the exact numbers. The last set of numbers I saw were from the 31st.
Active cases would only include cases from the last 2 or 3 weeks. Any cases from before that time are resolved.
