http://bit.ly/1zfNXza The death toll from the Ebola virus outbreak has risen to 4,447, with most victims in West Africa, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates. There could be up to 10,000 new cases per week within two months if global efforts are not stepped up, WHO official Bruce Aylward warned. But the rate of new cases of infection at some of the "epicentre" areas has slowed down, he added. Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea have been hardest hit by the outbreak. There have been 8,914 cases overall, including the fatal cases. The WHO says it expects this number to top 9,000 by the end of the week. The WHO estimates its figures by taking the numbers of confirmed cases and multiplying them - from Guinea by 1.5, from Sierra Leone by 2 and from Liberia by 2.5 - to account for underreporting. http://bbc.in/1sHt3ce
