Turn away for a few hours and the whole shebang will be stripped down to the dung beetles.

I’ll have to go check the old Ebola threads, but I’m pretty sure that almost all of the troops are dead, and they brought back Ebola to America which wiped out between 50% and 90% of our American population.

I don't normally use current internet slang here on FR, but...

LOL!

“If they had been built when we needed them, it wouldn’t have been too much,” said Moses Massaquoi, the Liberian government’s chairman for Ebola case management. “But they were too late.”

Then why didn’t you build them? I believe Liberia was founded in 1847; a century and a half wasn’t long enough?

Gibsmedats an ocean away...

Too little too late, like everything we see from Obama. If these had been built a year ago many lives could have been saved.

And the jungle will grow over it and nothing good will ever come from it except to the natives who stripped everything of value from it and traded it for guns so they could join Boko Haram. Something like that.

Well, unless these are paper shelters, maybe they will be useful for the next outbreak.

These numbers show continued exponential growth

Actually, if you graph the numbers, you will see that, rather than growing "exponentially", the growth is actually LESS than "straight-line". In other words, the number of cases per day is getting lower.

At the peak, we were getting 260+ new cases a day.

IN the last week of your numbers, that had dropped to about 41 new cases a day.

Remember that they had beds for a certain number of cases already. Since they now have a lot fewer cases, the extra beds we added are going unused.
