At least 4,877 people have died in the world's worst recorded outbreak of Ebola, and at least 9,936 cases of the disease had been recorded as of Oct. 19, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday, but the true toll may be three times as much.
The WHO has said real numbers of cases are believed to be much higher than reported: by a factor of 1.5 in Guinea, 2 in Sierra Leone and 2.5 in Liberia, while the death rate is thought to be about 70 percent of all cases. That would suggest a toll of almost 15,000.

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
WHO is really trying to push up the $care. I am $ure they have their rea$on$.
It’s going to be interesting to see what the real number is going to be in the US after the midterm Democrat election thefts. I betting at least a few thousand.
Pshaw, Mayor de doo doo head and his side kick, Cuomo just said don’t panic, ebola is extremely hard to get.
Oh.
Ok.
tens of thousands of health care workers in nyc just took 80 hours of training to treat ebola.
No one is allowed to respond to an ebola ambulance call who hasn’t had the training.
These people are so obedient to Obama that they will not shut down flights and entry from these countries.
this was a doctor.
He took the subway.
Anyone going to report on the lack of subway riders tomorrow?
I'm sure there's more death than reported, but how much more?...afterall, we were all lectured that Aids was going to kill all the humans in Africa years and years ago...
AIDS research was billions and billions of dollars in federal grants to colleges and universities. It’s job security to a lot of these people.
And we’re constantly told by our “leaders” that Ebola is difficult to catch?
He took a taxi, too...
That leaves shank's mare...
Give it time - there are those who would anticipate that with satisfaction...
