Using the laboratory confirmed ebola cases and deaths by my calculations the mortality rate is:

July 30. 826/953 = 86.67%

July 27. 729/909 = 80.19%

Please correct me if I've made false assumptions, but it sure seems that the death curve is rising. Keep in mind that the reported deaths are only three days apart.
