Let’s call that the worst-case scenario. Best case: a vaccine or other treatment is developed soon, and the whole episode becomes a footnote in history. More likely scenarios involve a lot of death and suffering, curfews and quarantines (that don’t hold), and widespread crumbling of the social order.

The death rate announced the other day is 84%. The numbers you are looking at are new cases added into the numbers which skew the death rate because they have not passed through the cycle of the disease and either lived or died....nice little propaganda trick to keep the fear down.

Oops, sorry should have read further down and seen it was commented on.
To: Lady Heron
Thank you for the added perspective. No problem if it as commented later on...

Then there is the issue of if it escapes Africa, I can think of places in Asia & South & Central America where it could be similar in terms of poverty and backwardness.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re 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...
