Quite simply, I would reply, it's an average since week 10 now that we have between 25 to 30 cases per week.

Since week 10, that would mean another 100+ cases. If last week was week 15--or is it this week?--and they may have missed some cases while concentrating on Uige, I seriously question whether the rate is slowing. And that seems to give the lie to the "administratively reclassified" numbers. Or am I mistaken?

I've had the Mrs. translate an Angolan press release (the Mrs is near-fluent in Portugese):

http://www.angolapress-angop.ao/noticia.asp?ID=337440

Key section:
"Entretanto, 175 casos suspeitos foram notificados até quarta-feira última, na província do Uíge, tendo sido confirmados 89, o que elevou para 264 o número de casos desde o surgimento da doença. A febre hemorrágica matou já 264 pessoas a nível da região."

Translation: There are 175 more suspected cases in Uige. 89 of which are confirmed Marburg. Bringing the total to 264 active or potential cases. It notes that this is equal to the number already killed by the virus.

This ties into Judith Anne's analysis above.
