Ramping Down

Thats the term that they're using in W Africa re: Ebola.
To sum up , one year after I started mentioning the possibility of a super - demic , my words not theirs , cases have dropped to zero in 2 / 3 countries. Liberia is calling itself clear but claims a massive re - build is needed. In political speak , this is ' come bail us out - we can't do it ourselves '. The president of Liberia , likened the requirements to the Marshal Plan to re - build Europe.
The totals for the year are not definitive however , numbers such as 23 000 infected and 11 000 dead are not out of sync w/ perceived figures.
My only qualm is that Liberia is asking for massive aid when their normal health care budget is $ 20 - 30 per person. Before you call for aid , you need to do something about taking care of yourself.

Weather : We've settled down but the settling is double teen digits.
They forecast warmer w/in a week. 34 - 36 F The carrot on the long stick
