Ok, scroll down to the first graph.
Notice how the ‘pink’ part of the bar chart seems to be much more under control than the rest of it?
Almost makes me wonder who, specifically, wants to increase ebola transmission in Guinea...
“The news gives added weight to fears that the current outbreak is far from its peak. On Thursday, the WHO warned that the outbreak could infect more than 20,000 people before it ends.”
Seems a bit of a low estimate........
Social unrest, fear, ignorance and superstition...
Do not think it will be any different when Ebola
comes to Ferguson Missouri.
Really not much difference from some of the comments right here on FR Ebola threads.
Bring Out Your Dead
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...
