Thanks for the effort--as others mentioned on this thread. We don't want you to do anything to jepordize your (or anyone else's) job.

The good news we can glean is that the CDC (and one must also assume AMIIRD) is keeping a very close eye on this. Which is good because I don't trust WHO.

As an aside, though this epidemic has severely lowered my opinion of WHO it has increased my appreciation of MSF/DWB--they seem to be doing a great job in the trenches, and are actually working to keep the rest of us informed.

I still have respect for CDC/AMRIID, I just wish they would do a better job of informing the world on the situation, instead of leaving it up to Angola, WHO and MSF.

It seems to me that any reluctance of WHO, CDC, AMRIID to inform could mean either that they simply dont yet know enough to tell or that they are concerned about causing public alarm if they tell what they do know?

The second possibility might suggest that things are worse than they appear...the first that this outbreak is perplexingly anomalous...neither a heartening prospect...but at least as you say they seem to be very attentive to it now...hopefully more public disclosure will be forthcoming soon.

Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders has once again shown themselves to be admirable with their efforts in this...Bravo for them!
