Re: Ebola: Graph - cumulative cases & deaths using WHO updates - October 7, 2014
> GS your charts need some explanation. What are the axes?
horizontal: time, one mark = 1 week, weeks 34-41 (week 41 ended Oct.12)
vertical: number of cases (confirmed for Guinea and Sierra Leone,confirmed+
suspected+probable for Liberia). The scaling is not added, it's a bit difficult,
because I keep changing it so to fit the charts into the window.
Maybe I can do it later. IMO, it's not so important for seeing the trend
> What periods are being covered. Why so many lines on the MA?
one chart for each of the regions
> If you are using WHO data, they don't have local data, only at

I'm using the situation reports and French embassy data for Guinea
> What are you trying to show with these charts?
where the trend goes, how big the danger is of exponential explosion

also the threads about Kailahun, how it went down in some regions.
most explanations were posted earlier, so I don't repeat them each time.
But, right, I should have at least one post with all the explanations
so I can link to it.
maybe later ... (I'll update here)
