Well, at least God kept his promise not to drown us all again.
I have seen some here who are cold serious in predicting up to 75% of the world’s population dead by next December.
139 million dead Americans in the next 18 months.
That it is an Obama plot to kill 50 million Americans, and on and on.
Freepers that are entirely serious.
WE’RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!!!
This is like being around in the 14th century watching daily news reports as the Black Death moved from the Middle East to southern Europe to eventually kill off entire towns and villages, perhaps a third of the entire population of the continent. Not sure which is worse. Not knowing it’s coming or being reminded every day.
If true, there will be allot of good fishing for the survivors.
Cute game with the numbers, but I hope no one takes it seriously.
The real numbers are likely to be unfortunate, but not several billion. I will, however, be surprised if it tops out under one million, and it could be quite a bit bigger. No one can make a valid forecast of where it tops out because the growth is (as confirmed by data and CDC analysis) still exponential - meaning that whatever level it will top out at, conditions remaining unchanged, it is nowhere near that level now.
So, can I have your stuff, since you won’t be needing it?
Real estate prices should finally come down to a reasonable level.
The usage of the RATE function is:
RATE(nper, pmt, pv, fv)
There are 41 days between 8/28/14 and 10/5/14, and we won't be making any "payments". The "present value" is the number of cases on the first day of the period in question, and the "future value" is the number of cases on the last day of the period. It is expressed as a negative. So putting in your values we have:
RATE(41, 0, 3053, -8033), which gives a daily percentage increase of 2.3877%.
So to get to 7.125 billion, it will actually take 580 days, 10 hours, and 1 minute.
Are you going to Boulder or Las Vegas?
Seriously, though, extrapolating numbers from a S**thole like Liberia onto the rest of the world is not good methodology. Nations are going to really get serious about their isolation policies well before this happens.
Yes, but 10% will survive.
Imagine how much roomier the place is going to be!
The thread after this is “Dallas-area deputy does not have Ebola”
I plugged this into Excel. If this trend holds even for an instant, no one will have Ebola even halfway into that instant.
Thank God, for this heroic deputy.
I’m sorry, but if you don’t put this in terms of Common Core math, I will never understand what this means...
