The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
Posted on 08/14/2014 8:33:03 AM PDT by tcrlaf
The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday reported 128 new Ebola cases and 56 deaths in West Africa in the two days to August 11, raising the death toll from the worst ever outbreak of the disease to 1,069.

Several are associated with one Nigerian nurse that ran away from quarantine, to her home village.
It feels like they don’t have a handle on this...
How many did these 128 people infect?
There is little if any practice of modern antiseptic methods in those countries. Your average truck stop public toilet is cleaner than most of those towns and villages.
Hey at least this is off the news and the cops are being targeted by left wing groups to gin up their base for the elections.
After all the Dems have nothing else to run on.

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
And that my Freeper friend is the money question.
Can't find the link so I am going from memory
The numbers thus far and of course subject to change.
Each Ebola victim infects 1.8 people. 60 to 70 percent die
After one year (march 2015) there will be 170,000 infected 110,000 dead
After two years (march 2016) there will be 310,000,000 infected 200,000,000 dead
After three years (march 2017) there will be 6 billion infected and 4 billion dead.
Scary numbers, I seriously doubt the numbers are that bad, but those are the numbers as of now.
Oh one more thing, WHO says it's numbers are probably only 25-50% of the real numbers due to under reporting of Ebola.
Of course, this is based on the official stats and I suspect the real numbers are much higher.
Correct but see my post above and you will see that even going by the official stats, the rate has almost DOUBLED in just a week.
See my analysis of the latest stats in my Post #9 above. The breakdown shows almost a DOUBLING of the Ebola outbreak in just a week. And this is just using the OFFICIAL stats which are probably way low.
When you consider the economic repercussions of quarantine for a country or even just a significant district, not to mention the complications there for provisions for those in the quarantined area, governments will be slow to act, despite the danger of the outbreak.
We'll see what happens next week. If the rate is over 50 deaths per day (now it is is 28) that will indicate the projections are correct.
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...
Thanks for the ping!
