If the epidemic in Liberia were to continue in this way until the 1st of December, the cumulative number of cases would exceed 100,000, predicts Althaus. Such long-term forecasts are error-prone, he acknowledges.
The big problem is that due to unsanitary conditions, the disease is spreading like what happened in Europe when the bubonic plague killed 1/3 of the European population. This is why there is fear if it spreads to either India or China, the spread of the disease could be very horrifying.
Just a matter of time until it breaks its bounds. Out of Africa.
And all we need from he U. S. is $500 billion. For your convenience, you can pay it in ten monthly installments of $100 billion.
Please don’t ask for an accounting of the funds. We’re too busy fighting the disease.
See you next year...
Reminds me of when AIDS first came out.
There were predictions that by the year 2000, 99% of the U.S. populace would have it.
Quarantine is harsh but in the absence of any other control what is the alternative?
Well, I saw some middle aged guy in a deli sporting a T shirt that read “Everybody has AIDS”

That’s not exactly like exhibiting terrible behavior and when someone calls you on it, you explain that everyone does it. It’s close enough.
Perhaps he has it and now thinks most people do.
They should avoid dead bodies.
Thanks for posting. Health/life BUMP!
It would be a shame if it spread to the haj
This is getting to remind me of the opening scene of the 1995 movie “Outbreak”

When unruly mobs break into quarantine areas and travelers circumvent no fly restrictions, there are no rules and there is no predicatability in the spread of ebola.
There is only one given that it will spread.
Yes, the latest gift to the world from that benighted place.
Quarantine, are you kidding? Obozo-I mean Jarrett- is probably already having his minions work on a plan to bring these poor victims to the US. Just like the Haitian AIDS people, or the South Americans with drug-resistant TB. After all, we must all share in the diversity.
