The Mariners won the division title again in 1997, but were defeated in the ALDS 3 games to 1 by the Baltimore Orioles.

In Liberia, which has been hit the hardest by the outbreak, 3,280 people had been infected with Ebola -- more than half in the preceding three weeks -- and 1,677 of them had died. In Sierra Leone, Ebola had meanwhile infected 1,940 people and killed 593 of them. The three weeks since September 1 accounted for 38 percent of total infections. The situation in the country continues to deteriorate, WHO said, blaming especially a sharp increase in the number of new cases reported in Freetown.
In 2014, an outbreak of Ebola virus disease occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Genome-sequencing has shown that this outbreak was not related to the 2014â15 West Africa Ebola virus outbreak, but was of the same EBOV species, the Zaire species.rom 1976 (when it was first identified) through 2013, the World Health Organization reported 1,716 confirmed cases. The largest outbreak to date is the ongoing 2014 West Africa Ebola virus outbreak, which has caused a large number of deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
