It looks like it is spreading fast when the numbers infected on Aug 1 were 1,291 and the numbers four weeks later are 23,000.

Well... one possibility is that the thing that started and went undiagnosed for several week is still unknown, but that they have gotten a flu outbreak in the middle of it. The fatality rate during the first month seems to have been around 12%, four times higher than now. Assuming that the count for the first month is reasonably correct.

I wonder if these numbers are correct, and if so, what if a few people who were infected traveled outside of Madagascar? And why have we heard nothing about this on mainstream news? Too many questions.
