The last add to the total was less than 100. That’s how you can tell...

They never get the new infections right, but they can count the deaths pretty well.

Just common sense,,,

I would not worry about these sporadic reports of “potential” infections.

They report them as they arise due to travel in the region. So far none have proved to be positive. It’s mostly out of a abundance of caution, which is something that we do in all cases of infection or contamination of travelers.

If, by chance someone were not to report their illness, and got sick with Ebola, you would know it...But as some have tried in vain to explain to you, this is not “Captain Trips”.

In the US, it would not do as much damage as it is in Africa, which by comparison with other biologics, it is not even a front runner in Africa.

That is why it has continued to pop up from time to time there, and then burn it’s self out.

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.
