The government of Liberia on Thursday lifted a state of emergency in the hopes that Ebola was lessening there, even as a new case in neighboring Mali showed how the epidemic is shifting. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said she has suspended the three-month-old measure, which allowed officials to quarantine people and even whole neighborhoods. The change of approach came with an ambitious goal that she announced in the same speech: to reduce the number of cases in Liberia to zero by Christmas. “I am confident that we can win this fight,” she said, in a transcript of the speech on her website. ?online.wsj/articles/liberia-lifts-state-of-emergency-as-shifts-view-on-ebola-virus-epidemic-1415896356
