And the deaths are still at 4,800...after 2 weeks. I guess the Obola Czar believes that the magic number for panic is 5,000 so they are keeping the number low...like the unemployment numbers.

Let’s bring them here! It’s their human right to be treated in America!

That sounds like an artefact of the reporting process. IOW those cases were always there, but under-reported. They change the reporting method, et voila! the numbers jump.

It has been 5 days since they last reported. And the big jump was in Liberia which added 1588 cases and -1 deaths.

I guess they had another resurrection.

Probably the deaths didn’t get reported at all. There’s been a lot of concern that Liberia reporting was breaking down.

On the otherhand, there is a report this morning that hospital beds are beginning to open up in Liberia. They don’t know if that’s because people quit coming to the hospital, families are opting to care for patients at home, or if they’ve somehow gotten a break in the disease.

Exponential growth. Last month they were saying the cases double every 3 weeks but as those cases increase the time it takes to double decreases, I just didn’t think it would be this fast this soon. I can see now why the US hating radical Muslim posing as our POTUS is so eager to get it here.

So if it is so hard to catch, how are they spreading it. The word should be out by now not to be around people with a fever so how is it spreading so fast?

Maybe one of those infamous paper jumps. The bloom does seem to be fading bit, so let’s crank up some numbers. I would not be surprised if this virus has either evolved less harmless or the more susceptible are now gone.

What ever happened to their screaming there would be 100,000 by now?

Wait a minute.

I just heard on the hourly newsbreak during Rush Limbaugh show that there has been no significant increase in new Ebola cases in African countries...

How convenient.

The WHO physicians are paid shills for the drug companies, who want to put goo in your body and enrich themselves at the expense of their hapless victims.

Swine Flu part deux. ...

That’s how geometric progressions work. It’s 1-10-100-1000-10000-100000-1000000-you’re dead.

Couple that with they actually don’t have a clue how many really there are, and it’s a total CF.

So if extrapolated, that means everyone is dead before June, 2015. Instead of Dec 2015.

Maybe I’m the only one who noticed that for the previous three weeks or so there was no reporting on just how many Afreekins were chucking their lunches? I noted it was curious at the time. But now it’s important again? Maybe it’s just that the one trick ponies in the MSM can only deal with one active thot at a time? Somebody want to ask Brian Williams where Doc Nancy is?

Due to previous under reporting.

Ah. So these numbers aren't under reported.

Good to know.


Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

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...

Yet the nurse can tell the government to go to hell and go off to Maine and spread the disease. Rush was talking about her today. A big Obama, lefty.

“the big jump in cases is likely due to previous under-reporting.”

Doing headcounts in Africa must be challenging. Especially when for whatever reason, government does not seek an accurate count.

This is the frightening thing.
For each person ill, it takes probably 3-5 medical and support staff minimum.

Unless you stack them up like cord wood and let them die.
This is going to get much worse.
