Summary

I've undertaken to update an older map, and to simplify the previous cluttered color scheme by removing recorded deaths versus none (a fiddly distinction which required excessive updating). Since a November 20 Wikimedia security rule change, it is apparently no longer possible to upload the .svg scalable format. This file is a 150% .png enlargement of the .svg working document carried over from the previous source.

Suggested rules for updating:

• BLUE: Medically evacuated cases: Any area in which an Ebola case from elsewhere has been treated. Blue regions do not become another color unless there's an actual local outbreak (either due to it escaping the evac facility, or arriving from another source). An ex-blue color cannot become blue again unless it achieves green first (42-day limit passage), then another evac case arrives.
• YELLOW: Isolated cases: Anywhere Ebola is "loose", but for which all or nearly all known and suspected cases are in treatment or quarantine.
• ORANGE: Limited outbreak: An arbitrarily moderate number of persons are infected, including unknown infected "spreaders", but the medical infrastructure is not overwhelmed.
• RED: Widespread outbreak: An out-of-control situation overwhelming available medical infrastructure. Many unidentified infected "spreaders".

Progression: YELLOW > ORANGE > RED > ORANGE > YELLOW.

Please refrain from updating this file if you are not in possession of a master .svg file, and posting a master-derived image in the same format and dimensions as the preceding imagery.
