I read there’s been 2000 dead since 1976. That is not exponential, IMO.
Actually, it has gone from one victim, occurring not too long ago, to hundreds at this moment. Also, the fear of Ebola is that it has the ability to explode if not dealt with. Furthermore, we all make comments; my comments are just that; I won’t bore everyone by trying to close down all avenues of nuances, extrapolations, inferences, etc.
