Despite the hype, the number of new cases keeps increasing....

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.

This means Ebola rate is INCREASING rapidly. Last week the stats were 108 cases and 45 deaths in the three days of Aug. 2 to 4. The lastest stats are 128 cases and 56 deaths in the two days of Aug. 10 & 11. That means last week the rate of cases were 36 per day and deaths were 15 per day which has now risen to 64 new cases per day and 28 deaths per day. This represents almost a DOUBLING in the Ebola outbreak in just a week.

Of course, this is based on the official stats and I suspect the real numbers are much higher.

Bring Out Your Dead

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...
