Ebola Update
Ebola 2014, West Africa, Reported Cases per week to 27 October.png This graph is sourced from Wikipedia, and is supposed to be based on WHO (World Health Organisation) statistics. The picture previously presented, of six weeks of flat-rate increase (less than 1000 per week), has been radically revised, to such an extent that the credibility of these statistics is undermined. WHO also, in words, doubts the accuracy of its own figures. Responses Wikipedia has a page on responses. The most critical responses are not donations of money. Material supplies, delivered, are better than money. But the most critical support is organised medical teams (doctors, nurses, technicians and managers). According to the Wikipedia page, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has 210 volunteers in the main affected countries, collaborating with 1650 local staff. Cuba has sent 461 people in integrated medical teams, or brigades, to all three mainly affected countries. China has undertaken to send 480 medical staff of the People’s Liberation Army and a 100-bed treatment centre in Liberia. At this time, it looks like the Cubans have the biggest-scale intervention at the front line. -- -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
