Sierra Leone Records 121 Ebola Deaths In A Single Day
2014-10-07
[BREITBART] Sierra Leone recorded 121 deaths from Ebola and scores of new infections in one of the single deadliest days since the disease appeared in the West African country more than four months ago, government health statistics showed on Sunday.

The figures, which covered the period through Saturday, put the total number of deaths at 678, up from 557 the day before. The daily statistics compiled by Sierra Leone's Emergency Operations Centre also showed 81 new cases of the hemorrhagic fever.

The overall corpse count from the epidemic reached 3,439 out of a total of 7,492 cases in West Africa and the United States as of Oct. 1, the World Health Organization said last week. The U.N. agency's statistics varied from those compiled by Sierra Leone.

#7  There was a young shrub name of Dubya
Who said, "You should not let AIDS trouble ya.
We will help y'all out,
Though someday they will shout
That my Ebola fund should be tubbier."

#6  Will Africa suffer, and beaucoup,
From offspring of red dove and cuckoo?
And how much shinola
Will cover Ebola
Now fledged from its nest near Yambuku?

#5  It appears to be flattening the past few weeks. New case rate is no longer exponential, and (within the noise) may even be declining. A promising sign.

See e.g. ebolastats-dot-info and their references.

#1  Has anyone seen a recent compilation of total infected statistics? Is it still doubling every 3 weeks? Worse? Flattening?
