        Although the death toll has increased by 2, for the first time since this outbreak began there were no new cases reported in the past month. Although the victims of this needlessly tragic outbreak will be dealing with the effects for the rest of their lives, it is good news that perhaps we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
