I think it will be 100 million by January...

How is the general media handling this, do they have the public panicked yet, or are they downplaying it, not covering it much, or what?
Thanks for following/posting. Health/life BUMP!
This is the kind of crap that will happen to our soldiers.
At half a million, that cup is gonna overflow.
I hope someone brought napkins.
How many is Scouter’s model predicring by Jan 2015? I can’t remember.
“CDC is working on a dynamic modeling tool that allows for recalculations of projected Ebola cases over time,” a CDC spokeswoman told reporters with The Washington Post. “CDC expects to release this interactive tool and a description of its use soon.”
Hopefully the Mann, Jones and Hansen trio are helping them with the “dynamic modeling tool” so they can produce the soon to be mocked “Ebola Hockey Stick Graph”. From their cushy offices, the CDC geniuses will be able to model the infections, the active disease and the resultant deaths without providing any useful assistance or risking getting the disease themselves.
If the modeling tool doesn’t work as advertised they can shout louder, denounce the skeptics as Ebola deniers, and claim the science is settled and skeptics are haters and criminals.
WHO forecasting between 500,00 and 1.5 million cases by the end of January.

Three days ago it was 250,000 by the end of 2015.
I think it will be 100 million by January...
The article talks as if there is some universally available Ebola preventative. That ain’t so - Pilgrim.
The few successful treatments were done in especially equipped and trained medical research centers with equipment and professional staff not available to “regular” US hospitals. Lets not talk about most hospitals in the third world nor military field hospitals.
BTW - the last time I look military field hospitals were designed and equipped to handle “typical” combat injuries not Ebola. The medical requirements, logistics and equipment are at the opposite ends of the medical spectrum.
The confirmed case numbers are still ramping up. And, the biggest issue isn’t necessarily the confirmed cases - those can be handled in some degree or another. Its the unconfirmed cases that will case the numbers to grow.
Like it or not a total travel embargo might be the only way to contain this pandemic. Confinement for 3 days doesn’t mean squat with the virus has an incubation period of 21 - 28 days. The 3 day confinement was a political stunt based on something other than sound medical practice.

1. EB-SZ type:...Incubation period is 2-4 weeks. Some individual cases have incubation period up to 6 months. Some cases are asymptomatic...co-infections and complications...diathesis from the major blood vessels. In severe cases, blood vessels disintegrate; muscular tissues became fluid-like; patients died of lack of oxygen due to haemorrhage. After the case die, the disintegration symptoms persist...The process continues until the carcass completely disintegrates.... 2. EB-ST type:...Incubation period: 30-120 days...This virus is suspected to be the mutated by-product of Ebola virus and other viruses... 3. EB-HN type:...Transmission is unknown. Incubation is about 30-60 days...After the disintegration of blood vessels, patients experience symptoms related to blood loss. Most of the deceased cases' heavily infected organs were in their lungs. If the blood vessels of the internal organs were infected, it will cause hepatic damage. Deceased case's face and bottom will disintegrate within 2-8 hours afterwards;... 6. EB-SZ77 type: It was found in Shenzhen of South China (adjacent to Hong Kong). This virus could infect birds.

A CHINESE BIOWEAPON ALMOST GOT OUT OF CONTROL IN 2005.
http://neubarth.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-chinese-bioweapon-almost-got-out-of.html
I am a former Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare Officer in the United States Navy. What I believe we saw was a bio-weapon that was deliberately or accidentally released from a Chinese Bio-Weapons Lab in Sichuan. Hence the attempt to name it Sichuan Sheet,...
What was this biological weapon that I believe the Chinese have perfected by now? I believe it was a form of "Air or proximity transmitted (coughing sneezing) Ebola that could pass from person to person as easily as the common flu. If it was released on purpose, it was a perfect time to do so, because the newspapers in the region were covering the Bird Flu outbreak, and the bio-weapon release story could be lost in the Bird Flu story as the Bird Flu spread out of China...
The Bioweapon was very lethal at the beginning and the Chinese were frantic about getting it contained. Thousands of troops were rushed into Sichuan and other regions that it was detected including the Qinghai Lakes area where H5N1 Bird Flu was also breaking out at the same time. People were ordered to stay in their houses and not come out. Death squads of soldiers were sent from infected village to infected village and were eliminating whole villages and bulldozing the bodies under. Then all of the troops who were involved in the slaughter were killed. There was one report of a whole battalion of troops being marched into a large abandoned coal mine. Once they were all in there, the mine entrance was blown shut and all of those soldiers were left to die.
