At least 5,177 people are known to have died in the world's worst recorded Ebola outbreak, the World Health Organization said on Friday, an increase of 17 since its last update on Wednesday.

The total of 14,413 cases in eight countries includes 1,187 deaths in Sierra Leone, 1,166 in Guinea and 2,812 in Liberia. The Liberian toll has been revised downwards from 2,836 because of reclassification, the WHO said.

Weren’t 10,000 a week supposed to be dying by now?

What happened, did Big Government take charge of spreading the disease or what?

[txrefugee]

The death toll from Ebola in the USA is 1, and that was a liar we imported. Meanwhile, several children died of the virus that Obama imported with the illegal aliens from Central America. What a disgrace.

[Steely Tom]

We haven’t been hearing near as much about this since Obola appointed a political fixer to be the Ebola czar.

[ansel12]

Time to revisit some of the threads with the predictions.

For instance:

“Ebola May Infect Earth’s Entire Population by December 1, 2015; 50-75% Fatal”

[tcrlaf]

Mali has 186 people in Quarantine, and are looking for dozens more, with 5 confirmed cases, and a suspected 5t, just from ONE Imam fleeing guinea for better care.

They said today that they expect more cases soon.

[soycd]

Just waiting for it to get loose in a muzzy stronghold area. It should spread quite well among the filth.

[null and void]

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
