GENEVA: The World Health Organization said Wednesday that 5,420 people had so far died of Ebola across eight countries, out of a total 15,145 cases of infection, since late December 2013. 

On Friday, the UN health agency had reported 5,177 deaths and 14,413 cases. 

The WHO believes that the number of deaths is likely far higher, given that the fatality rate in the current outbreak is known to be around 70 percent.

Good find Kay. 

These numbers are slightly different with 300 more deaths.  The fatality rate is down to 30% which is a little concerning as it's it's closer to 70% meaning there are a lot of unreported  cases. 

Big spikes in Sierra Leone and Guinea (record increase in Guinea by 2 x and record increase in Sierra Leone), and no change (no decrease) in Liberia despite reports.   Liberia also almost had a record increase.  Looks like around 1,000 new cases per week and no dent has been made in slowing it down.

Major Ebola virus outbreaks by country and by date – 3 September to most recent WHO / Gov update
Note: These reflect official confirmations only. The actual numbers are estimated to be higher.[2][17][18]
