Ebola Kills 2,288, Nearly Half in Past 21 Days
Geneva - The Ebola epidemic in west Africa has claimed 2,288 lives, the World Health Organisation said on Tuesday, stressing that nearly half had died in less than a month.
As of 6 September 2,288 people had died in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Libera out of 4,269 cases, the UN's health agency said, pointing out that 47% of the deaths and 49% of the cases had come in the prior 21 days.
Another eight people have died in Nigeria out of 21 cases, while one case of Ebola has been confirmed in Senegal, WHO said.
It is not going to do what people are saying here. This epidemic is worse than previous ones, but none of them have killed more than a few thousand people, then they stop. Unless something has changed which we are not being told, it will stop soon. It is not the flu.
the data i’ve been tracking and you can find it on the wiki page. the original source is WHO, for the most part
the graph is just graphing the data using excel
if you contact your various govt types, tell them to type this into their browser:

it'll work and is the shortest link without using a pass thru site. speak very clearly and be ready with phonetic alphabet.. and remember it's CASE SENSITIVE
we someone get this info on the desk of all governors ... especially those in states with high taxi usage (ie: NY, Il., Washdc, Boston, etc)
i wouldn't be ringing the bell if that vertical line didn't freak the crap outta me. the next 2-4 weeks will determine how bad this gets. unfortunately, it's not showing any signs of burning itself out.
One incubation period later, Halloween.
One more, Thanksgiving Day, the highest travel weekend of the year.
A bit over one more, Christmas, preceded by crowded malls and shops...
Thanks, sten. You might be interested in Post # 40.
since that posting, it would seem someone is fudging the data to make it appear more favorable.

Okay, I gotcha :)
I hope you get to go, and I hope you have a wonderful time.
Before we started importing Ebola cases, there was virtually zero risk of any Ebola epidemic in the US. Now, there is a nonzero risk. Some say it’s major, some downplay it, but no one will say it’s still zero. So already, it’s increased — which is VERY bad policy.
