Yep, the infection and death rates seem to be accelerating, not being brought under control yet. With people in Africa seeking to escape the danger, there is the possibility that the disease will spread even farther.
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.
My math is showing that by September 1, total Ebola deaths (OFFICIAL) will be over 1500 with over 100 deaths per day. By beginning of October, this rate increase would yield a total of 10,000 deaths with a rate of over 1000 fatalities per day. And this is using official stats.
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.
