That 100 deaths was in 3 days, August 2-4, 2014. The outbreak in total has cost approaching 1000 deaths since it started up in the early spring. That's several months. ~10% of all fatalities occurring in 3 days versus the entire ~160 days of the break out does NOT sound like "leveling off" to me. It sounds exponential.
Not the way I see it....It climbed from 500 to 700 and that data was upped by about 100 yesterday, so I see what looks like the top of the trajectory.
But we need time now to see....I could be early but past outbreaks have a similar curve.
What makes this one more pronounced is that it went to more than 2 places simultaneously...and it occurred where travel is more likely, which explains the multiple outbreaks.
Nothing has changed with the disease. It is still the same one.
