More numbers on Ebola... different again!

More numbers... See how unreliable numbers can be? These numbers are from the WHO website...

As of 2 July 2014, the cumulative number of cases attributed to EVD in the three countries stands at 779, including 481 deaths. The distribution and classification of the cases are as follows: Guinea, 412 cases (292 confirmed, 100 probable, and 20 suspected) and 305 deaths (194 confirmed, 94 probable, and 17 suspected); Liberia, 115 cases (54 confirmed, 24 probable, and 37 suspected) and 75 deaths (38 confirmed, 22 probable, and 15 suspected); and...

Sierra Leone, 252 cases (211 confirmed, 35 probable, and 6 suspected) and 101 deaths (67 confirmed, 29 probable, and 5 suspected).

Contrast these numbers with the Ministry of Health in Sierra Leone... 

On Friday, July 4rth, the Ministry of Health and Sanitation in Sierra Leone released these figures…
-       504 cases/samples have been tested.
-       254 cases/samples have been confirmed as Ebola
-       73 deaths in medical facilities have been confirmed with Ebola
-       92 people are being treated in medical facilities for Ebola

-       32 people have been treated and released from medical facilities

      Nope, I don't understand it either...
