by anon1I just went through the WHO stats here. They are now adding up the new cases and deaths every couple of days roughly.
One might expect a systematic and methodical collection of data from a World Health Organisation, especially one that doesn't actually ACT to prevent ebola spreading when it first breaks out.
But they can't even do that.
Firstly - the figures are only methodical for July and most of June. Halfway through June they start taking figures for different time periods in different countries (apples and oranges)
May is quite dodgy and April is so bad I gave up counting.
But for the figures I could consolidate they run thus:
DATE..........NEW CASES..........DEATHS
15-27 July......342..........................116
01-15 July......285..........................139
15-30 June........81............................41
01-15 June........84............................28
This is what "out of control" looks like. They can't track all the people the victims have infected. This is why the airlines are cancelling flights even though WHO still hasn't recommended travel bans and is lying about how contagious it is. You should all be ringing your local newspaper to ask if they can run a story on whether returning missionaries are going to be compulsory quarantined as there isn't enough convalescent blood available to treat the infected with life-saving transfusions.
