I first noticed this in a New York Review of Books report about a month ago. And I’ve wanted us to do a piece on it since. Put simply, as we in America lost in interest in Ebola, the situation in West Africa was actually improving dramatically. Public health workers rightly include all sorts of caveats. People are still dying and people are still getting infected. But the outbreak in Liberia actually in steep decline. While the situation in Sierra Leone remains acute, the nightmare outlook we were hearing about in September and October looks very different now. Here’s our report. Really a must read.
