Case numbers in an Ebola outbreak in 2014

Description

In December 2013, an 18-month-old boy from a village in Guinea suffered fatal diarrhea. Over the next months a broader outbreak was discovered, and in mid-March 2014, the Pasteur Institute in France confirmed the illness as Ebola-Virus Disease caused by the Zaire ebolavirus. Although the outbreak was first recognized in Guinea, it eventually encompassed Liberia and Sierra Leone as well. By July 2014, the outbreak spread to the capitals of all three countries.

Format

A dataframe with 182 rows. Each row is a daily report during a period of over 18 months during 2014 and 2015.

These values have been calculated from the raw, cumulative data. The data have been scrubbed to remove obvious errors.

• Gcases: Number of new cases in Guinea

• Gdeaths: Number of new deaths in Guinea

• Lcases: Number of new cases in Liberia

• Ldeaths: Number of new deaths in Liberia

• SLcases: Number of new cases in Sierra Leone

• SLdeaths: Number of new deaths in Sierra Leone

• TotCases: Cumulative number of cases across all three countries

• TotDeaths: Cumulative number of deaths across all three countries Added in EbolaGuinea

• Days: When the report was issued in terms of a count of days from the initial report.
