   The number of people killed by the worst outbreak of Ebola has   
   risen to 5,160, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.   
      
   The frequency of new cases no longer appears to be increasing in   
   Guinea and Liberia but remains high in Sierra Leone, the health   
   agency added.   
      
   The Ebola outbreak is thought to have infected more than 14,000   
   people, almost all of them in West Africa.   
      
   The deaths of three more people in Mali have been reported in   
   the past day.   
      
   "Transmission remains intense in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra   
   Leone" and the frequency of new cases is still increasing in   
   Sierra Leone, the WHO said in its situation report.   
      
   According to our correspondent Imogen Foulkes, the report   
   suggests that the resources needed to contain the virus in   
   Sierra Leone are not in place.   
      
   Only 19 of 53 planned treatment centres are operational, while   
   out of the 370 trained burial teams required just 140 have begun   
   work   
      
   Health experts have argued that the rate of new cases is more   
   significant that the total death toll, as it reflects how fast   
   the virus is spreading.   
      
   More than 2,830 people have died from Ebola in Liberia, with   
   more than 1,100 deaths in both Guinea and Sierra Leone, the WHO   
   said.   
      
   Mali has reported four deaths from Ebola, while there were eight   
   reported Ebola deaths in Nigeria, and one in the US.   
      
   The total number of deaths has increased by 200 since the WHO's   
   last situation report on 7 November.

   Let them die.  Natural selection is working.  Do not interfere.
