Ebola Toll Tops 2,000, Cases Near 4,000
2014-09-05 22:28
Geneva - More than 2 000 people have died in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the World Health Organisation said on Friday, out of about 4 000 patients thought to have been infected in the three countries worst hit by the disease.
The death toll in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone totalled 2 097 as at 5 Sept, out of 3 944 cases, a WHO document said.
The data did not include patients in Nigeria or Senegal, which have also been affected, nor Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been hit by an unrelated outbreak of the disease.
We need to stop any flights or boats coming from the infected area and here we nee immediate quarantine. This could kill our sweat children.
Picking up speed
Yes it is. Seven days ago, Aug 28, case count was 3,069, with 1,552 deaths.
One more time?
Sweat children?
And this does not include today's report of cases at almost 4000.
In a few weeks it will hit over 1000 cases per day at this rate.
Its still summer by some definitions, and if you are doing things right they should be “sweat children”.
Best hope now is that it burns out where it is.
Thats still going to kill a large proportion of at least two countries, as its gotten into very dense population areas.
This will be complicated by famine as the local economy will collapse.
Unfortunately at some point the survivors are probably going to flee, and there is no way to stop them.
Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
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...
Ban all flights from west africa, no more ships from the infected zone until it burns itself out.
If ebola comes here - and kills more than a thousand Americans - we need to de-fund the CDC.... and throw the ‘oh so superior ones’ in jail.
Or let ‘the world’ pay their damn salaries.
EBOLA
USA
IRS
LBJ
FUCPUSA
Oh yea of little faith. We are soon hosting 9,500 students from infected areas into our colleges.
Not good at all.
Thanks for the ping.

That’s an incredibly snarky and uninformed post.
Thanks for the ping!
