It’s difficult to know which is spreading faster, the disease or the massive hype.

What’s important too is what is the mortality rate?

Are we talking something that has a 50 percent mortality rate.

That would be a major cause for concern.

What’s the mortality rate for the non elderly who are relatively healthy?

Ebola spreading by a cough or sneeze is pretty terrifying.

Other illnesses, not so much.

“It’s difficult to know which is spreading faster, the disease or the massive hype.”

The numbers so far indicate a 3-4% mortality, 14 day incubation and wildfire like spread.

There is good reason to be concerned.

Let’s just hope it’s not the biggest story around in a month.

The Ebola models had 1.5 million dead by November 15 2014.

The real # was 14 000.
