The WHO said last week the number of infections is tailing off, but new cases are still emerging and any one of them could spark a new crisis.
Dick Thompson, the WHO spokesman for communicable diseases in Geneva, said authorities were receiving three or four alerts a day but have had no new positive cases for several days.
Well which is it? Still emerging or no new cases?
If cases are still emerging then it is NOT under control!
The key word here is ALERT. I took alert to mean that no new cases in any new regions have been reported. That to me means it was spreading within the country which they failed to say before. The active case numbers are still rising so the outbreak is NOT under control in Uige but the authorities are happy that it isn't spreading to the rest of the country IMO. They are talking about apples and oranges in the same story which is very confusing which I think they are doing intentionally IMO.
