The numerator in your figures is for ALL suspected cases, and hence incorrect. For example, for August 1, there were 887 deaths for all suspected cases of Ebola. You would need to find the number of deaths corresponding to the subset of cases that were laboratory confirmed, which would be much smaller.
At some point they’ll have to give up the laboratory confirmed and settle on suspected. They can only test so many. If it keeps spreading they’ll eventually give up on suspected too as the infection exceeds reporting abilities. Eventually they may have to just say “F-it, all these people who died of sickness from the start of this probably died due to this outbreak”. That’s what’s been done in previous pandemics like the Spanish Flu. They just don’t have an accurate count.
Data at the link. Confirmed = 56.8% (574 of 1009)
“You would need to find the number of deaths corresponding to the subset of cases that were laboratory confirmed, which would be much smaller.”
Those lab results were obtained by African, who also took the specimens, “isolated” aid specimens, etc.
Sorry, but this is Africa we are discussing, and the reason the phrase “Africa wins again.” became so widely known and accepted is that the people are Africans, virtually all tribal primitives.
