“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely，” Dr Aylward said.

　　However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic(传染病). “I'm terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control，”he said.

　　Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating(震荡的) pattern where the disease moves up and down”．

　　The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.

　　In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “We're still seeing this thing burning_quite_hot in parts of Sierra Leone，” Dr Aylward said.

　　Tracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent, though people who receive treatment in a well­equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.

　　Meanwhile, two former NATO(北约)Secretaries General and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.
