Ebola, Finally Reducing In Liberia
Finally the World Health Organization, WHO, has said that the number of new cases of Ebola virus in Liberia appears to be reducing speedingly, with less death, plateauing lab confirmations and less-cramped hospitals. The deadly Ebola virus disease has left no fewer than 4,922 people dead mostly in Ebola hit Countries. More than half of the deaths recorded were in Liberia. Although, health experts expressed their ethusiasm, they also warned that the latest observation does not mean Ebola is under control in Liberia. The virus has the ability to appear in waves, which can be mistaken for the fewer cases.The Assistant Director-general of WHO while speaking, said:"The danger now is that we move, instead of a steady downward trend that gets us down to zero, that we end up with a oscillating pattern where the disease starts going up and down and areas start getting re-infected,". "What gets the heat out of this thing and slows it down isn't necessarily what is going to get us to zero."The numbers have been on the decrease for about week, he further added.
