“Seems like any reasonable person who wanted to know whether the situation was getting worse would want to see the new cases per day or week.”

1865 new cases in the past 21 days, 1319 of them in Sierra Leone (population 6 million). For comparison, the second largest outbreak in history (behind the current one) had a total of 425 cases. I’d say the Ebola outbreak is still a significant issue or at least has the potential to become a significant issue.
But “our” government controlled media has decided to downplay the danger right now, as it conflicts with several other “narratives” they are running on loosely connected issues.
It will pop up again soon in importance.
Decidedly too late to do anything about it for all of humanity.
A month or so back the drumbeat was that Ebola was in geometric growth and by now would be at 10,000 or more new cases per week, with perhaps a million or more total by the end of the year.
That obviously hasn’t happened (yet) and there is no particular reason to think it will.
