the main concern currently is sierra leone, and guinnea where cases are still rising-
and there are not enough isolation beds or resources
liberia - the situation is a bit more under control
who estimates that they can get the epidemic under control if they can get 70% of new cases in isolation
and safe burial of 70% of all deaths (the period immediately after death is the most contagious)
burial practices in w.africa exacerbate the spread of the disease
its far from over... only the news cycle is over in america
