Indeed.
I find this a bit spooky, and at the risk of being a conspiracy theorist, there are some other troubling aspects too. My sense has been:
1. First, they admitted they would not release new data.
2. They reclassified the data.
3. Then the post the data, but it is identical to the old.
4. Then no more data, but,
5. From a different source we learn of more deaths, and the deaths exceed the previously reported total cases.
6. Then they partition the data, reporting different numbers from different locations, but in a way that it is difficult to determine the totals.
7. They report the deaths but not the total number of cases, in sharp distinction to their reporting previously.
It is also troubling because it almost seems to me that they are reading our posts. Every time we think we are getting a handle on this, they look at EXACTLY what we had been following and change their reporting to omit it. The most recent example, from my perspective, is that they reported the deaths but NOT the total number of cases, so I cannot calculate the D_c/I_c ratio.

Well, if they are reading our posts, they are reading our posts.
The problem is, they cannot hide Marburg forever. It is infectious and contagious, and they do not have the medical infrastructure to contain it. And they can't shut EVERYBODY up--people talk.
Even the Chinese couldn't keep a lid on SARS. Angola is much less organized...
