For days this month, the ambulances from this Ebola treatment unit went out in search of patients, only to return with just one or two suspected cases. And many times, those people ended up testing negative for the disease.
gWhere are the patients?h an aid worker wondered aloud as colleagues puzzled over the empty beds at the International Medical Corps treatment unit here in Bong County, Liberia, which opened in mid-September.
Around the country, treatment centers, laboratory workers who test for Ebola, and international and national health officials trying to track the epidemic have noticed an unexpected pattern: There are far fewer people being treated for Ebola than anticipated.
As of Sunday, fewer than half of the 649 treatment beds across the country were occupied, a surprising change in a nation where patients had long been turned away from Ebola units for lack of space.
Now, new admissions to treatment centers are dropping or flatlining, the number of samples being submitted to Ebola laboratories has fallen significantly, and the percentage of people testing positive for the disease has dropped as well.

Dr. Bruce Aylward, the organizationfs assistant director general, in a dial-in news conference from its Geneva offices, said that there had been a drop in the number of burials in Liberia and no increases in laboratory-confirmed cases.
While Dr. Aylward cautioned that it was premature to draw conclusions, and that Ebola cases could rise in Liberia again, he appeared to be optimistic that the global effort to combat the outbreak was making headway.
gDo we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus?h he told reporters. gYes, we are seeing slowing rate of new cases, very definitelyh in Liberia.

gPeople ran away,h the Rev. G. Victor Padmore, a member of an Ebola task force here, reported after visiting a community where there had been a case. Days later, in another district, he visited a family that had recently lost a 3-year-old child.
gThey donft want to accept the child died of Ebola,h he said. gI made them understand.h
Some rural health workers say the outreach efforts have made residents more willing to report cases and seek treatment.
gItfs not as it was in August or September,h said Kollie Singbeh, an Ebola case investigator for Margibi County.

Elvis Ogweno, a Kenyan nurse who heads the International Medical Corps ambulance team, said that several Ebola-affected communities he had visited still reacted with fear.
gThey just took off to the forest,h he said. gYou keep on shouting, eIs someone there? Is someone there?' h
He sometimes drives five hours to reach communities, returning again and again until the resistance dissipates, often once someone is very ill. gAfter three days you go back and the patient is critical,h he said. gNow they want to come immediately.h
