I truly love reading an article that contains serious internal contradictions.

One health organization down plays another’s predictions by saying the further into the future you go with Ebola predictions the more uncertain the numbers become. Yet that same organization claims their numbers don’t suffer the same uncertainty.

RIGHT!

BL - no one has a real handle on where this outbreak is going. Anyone who says otherwise should be made to post a personal bond that is forfeited if he is proven wrong.

My personal nightmare is the 2014 Ebola pandemic is the 1918-1920 Spanish Flu pandemic written large. Civilized society will break down and the only thing left will be radical Islamic societies. A very unpleasant nightmare!

From what I understand, WHO is the only organization with optimistic numbers.

I think we know why that is.

Ebola is no where nearly as easily spread as was the Spanish Flu but you’re right to bring the Spanish Flu up because Ebola is only one or two mutations away from being that bad. Airborne Ebola would be a nightmare in a far more densely populated world than Spanish Flu spread into.

I agree, it could break out and become a nightmare, or it could fizzle out during the next year, or cures and immunizations emerge, or anything.

As a long time survivalist I am used to that, either it will be the big one...........or it won't.

In the meantime I have to go buy some more wheat and bottled water.
