Re-classified? Does this mean they got a bunch of test results from the CDC?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. What does "reclassified" mean? It seems they are massaging the data. We'll see. We are now far enough up the growth curve (assuming it is still correct) that they are going to have trouble "reclassifying" the data. At some point they will have to report all cases that present hemoragic symptoms, with or without tests. And at that point, if this is still following the growth curve, we might see a "substantial" increase in the numbers.

Okay, we're in agreement here.

One other thing that's possible, they may release numbers that show an increase, but a slowing increase...which would give WHO some basis to ask for more money ("See? We're doing good, but with more money we could make SURE").

Or, they could say no new cases, and some re-classified as NOT Marburg, but that they need more money to make SURE, or for research for treatment, or some such BS.

You know what I really think?

I think we've seen the last of the accurate numbers. But I think your projections are correct. I remember with SARS last year, NONE of the numbers were accurate.
