Zero is the Only Stable Level of Ebola — Factpod #10

Some weeks ago the number of new cases decreased. Of course everyone was relieved that finally the catastrophic period had passed. But the dropping curve didn’t reach zero. Instead it has remained stable around 10 new cases per day, for the last three weeks. This video was recorded on Dec. 5, before I presented to the Liberian President's Council for Ebola Response.

GAPMINDER HOMEPAGE http://www.gapminder.org

I'm going to the President's council
for Ebola response.

And I've been host
to make a presentation

about the epidemiological situation.

Three minutes, so I really concentrate.

I will present
the epidemiological curve,

from the 15th of August,
now to the 5th of December,

and I will show that it started
with 10 cases per day in mid august,

it went up to the horrible 70
or even more per day in end of september.

And now it has come down, and we are
back to where we were in august.

And it looks as if it's good now,
because it's much lower,

but my task is to tell,
it's extremely dangerous,

it's as dangerous now
as it was in august.

Because the only stable level,
for Ebola, that's zero cases.

This disease must be eliminated.
