However, we should look at this:

Interesting. Alhough some diarrheal disease may be contagious, malaria & auto accidents aren’t. So, that would be the biggest difference & concern.

I think that chart is missing the point of why people are watching this so closely. In the past that graph might have just mattered but we are on the verge of having a new paradigm today, if that point has not already been crossed.

It is now in large population centers not the bush where it stayed mostly isolated or could be easily isolated. A nurse showing no symptoms passed this thing on to a patient destroying any bs they are telling people of how this thing is passed on. A single patient that flew to Nigeria passed this thing on to 8 or 9 people and that does not include those whom he gave it to before getting on the plane.

Look at charts of the most deadly diseases and see how many people each disease on average an infected person is expected to pass their disease on to others and this version of Ebola should really raise some eyebrows if you are being logical.

The numbers of cases and deaths we are being told are bogus, report after report on the ground is telling us that.... not to mention the death rate they are giving us is very questionable since they are grouping new cases in their equation to give us that 50 to 60% death total to calm panic. The rate of growth of new patients has not gotten smaller, last I saw it was growing.

We are dealing with an area of the world so backward that one of those infected countries has only 50 doctors and many of those have died. The people are so backward in this area that they are willing to kidnap Ebola patients and their blood soaked mattresses and take it all back to their slums teaming with people, where residents have local water wells and lets not talk about the rest of the sanitation problems. It is the perfect disease incubator and we are still not quarantining these countries.

There are reports out of Russia that muslims plan 3000 islamic Ebola suicide carriers to cross our open borders(were those kidnapped Ebola patients taken by families?). Questions, questions.

Sorry, if that chart looks the same in 6 months it will be a miracle....I really hope that chart stays the same, not holding my breath.
