Would be nice to also see these statistics on a logarithmic plot - the purely selfish concern in the Western world is whether the epidemic is still in unchecked exponential growth, or if the growth rate is slowing.
- nfg 12y agoIt's getting the stats from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_epidemic_in_West_Africa#Timeline_of_cases_and_deaths http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_epidemic_in_West_Af... There's a log plot on that page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Evolution_of_the_2014_Ebola_outbreak_in_semiLog_plot..png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Evolution_of_the_2014_Ebol...

It tries to mix a narrative with the growing number of cases/deaths. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-31/ebola-timeline-deadliest-outbreak/5639060 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-31/ebola-timeline-deadlie...
