Somatosphere’s Web Roundup: Ebola Update

A great deal has happened since the first Web Roundup on Ebola. The epidemic has spread both in West Africa and globally, and material about Ebola has spread throughout the web. According to the CDC, as of October 22, a total of 9911 cases of Ebola have been reported, primarily in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone (map of new cases), and there have been an estimated 4546 deaths. WHO has declared an end to the outbreak in Nigeria and Senegal, but there are now cases in Europe and North America. In Spain and the United States, there have been local cases of viral transmission within healthcare facilities.
