The latest figures were released by the health ministry on Thursday. They show that 4,018 people have died from among 8,300 confirmed cases in what has become the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history.
More than 2,000 patients have recovered from the disease, the Reuters news agency notes….
Now you know — and my Northwestern Wildcats are putting on a Friday night show in their sparkling new stadium here tonight — up 24-7 at halftime on the formidable Penn State squad.
