# 9209

 

Although there are quite obviously huge gaps in surveillance and reporting from the three hot zone countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the numbers collected by the WHO continue to rise at a staggering rate.  Last Friday the total number of cases sat at 8376 and today that number is 9191 – an increase over more than 800 cases in 7 days.

 

The real number is anyone’s guess, although many estimates put it at double or triple the official numbers.
