They’re still “dropping like flies” with no end in sight.

Actually, the case loads are decreasing, and it looks like the worst is passed:

Still Fearful as infection rate slows:

For the ongoing Ebola epidemic, 2015 seems to have ushered in a hopeful new chapter: in Liberia, treatment centres are sitting empty; in Guinea, kids are finally heading back to school; and in Sierra Leone, the president is predicting zero new cases by end of March.

On Tuesday, the World Health Organization reported 75 new infections since the day before — relatively good news considering that in October, the UN health agency was predicting up to 10,000 new cases every week by this point.

Note that 75 new cases a day is a lot, but less than the worst case week, and much less than the alarmist projections of a month or two ago.
