WHO says Liberia wrongly added 1,000 deaths to Ebola toll
Yahoo News ^ | 12/1/2014 | Reuters (Reporting by Tom Miles; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

A surge in Ebola deaths reported by the World Health Organization at the weekend was due to about 1,000 Liberian deaths wrongly ascribed to the disease that would be removed, WHO assistant director general Bruce Aylward said on Monday.

"Liberia's figures came in but they've since said these were actually non-Ebola deaths that were reported as part of our Ebola deaths and we will be taking them off. So the whole world went up and the whole world will come down again," he told reporters.

Why not?

Reminds me of a something I heard once from a guy in the banking business.

Seems that any time a big bank is bailed out by the feds, the order goes out from senior management to all the divisions, offices, and branches: find every bad loan you've ever made and hand it over, to be lumped in to the sum that gets handed over to Uncle Sam. Doesn't matter when, doesn't matter who, and doesn't matter how little or how much.

Mygosh, this is getting as bad as the bogus unemployment figures in the US. The best way to do deaths caused by Ebola would be to investigate the increase in deaths since the Ebola first appeared in populated areas.

Do they really know for sure when someone has Ebola? I'm beginning to wonder.

They do NOT know. And I wonder if they get paid for the number of people who have died.

Well, that makes sense. The toll was about 5600, and for it to jump 1000 in just a couple days is completely inexplicable.

Sure they do. The larger the death toll numbers the larger the aid dollars.
