Meaning their death toll estimates are going to be WAAAAY off

And not in a good direction either...

I asked one of our resident Ebola ‘Experts’ this exact question what happens when the medical system becomes overwhelmed.

A infection rate of .5% of a population of 300,000,000 million is a little over 1,500,000. How long would the medical system last under such?

They didn’t have any snappy answer.

exactly

how would you quarantine 1.5 million people who might not be in the same geographical area? Almost impossible.
