OK, let’s take a breath here.

Ebola used to be over 95% death rate. Now in Africa it is a 70% or less death rate.

That is worth a cheer.

As far as I know every known Ebola patient that came to the USA has recovered. That is called 100% folks.

We can cure Ebola and it does not take a fancy vaccine as everyone knows from reading the earliest reports.

General good health lots of fluids and proper diet will let the body beat this thing.

This report is about Africa where the hopitals are sending people back home because there are no beds. The diet is poor. The family does not have the knowledge. It spreads because they try to help their family member and catch it.

Good thing I am not a conspiracy nut because there is plenty of meat for that here.

The Nigerian medicos were well fed and healthy. It still killed roughly half of those who go it.

“As far as I know every known Ebola patient that came to the USA has recovered. That is called 100% folks.”

This is what I said a few weeks ago. Africa: They don’t bathe, wash clothes, they eating rotting “bush meat” whatever the hell that is - they don’t get vegetables, they have no money, they have the mentality of 4 year olds about lists being compiled and people trying to help....

Sorry, like Mr. Butler, I just don’t give a damn.....

Ebola Zaire had a near 90% death rate. Other forms of Ebola were in the 60-75% range, so this is going along with that.

Also, in other outbreaks the villages had no idea they were dealing with Ebola until many were already dead. With proper hydration and food, we know we can drop the fatalities. We are getting to a lot of these people sooner, with some treatment. That is dropping the rate down to the 70% rate.

The figures coming out of the city are clearly wrong.

But when you say lots of fluids, are you talking about merely ingesting them or also receiving them via IV in a hospital? Once the hospitals are overrun with patients the scenario may change...that’s what concerns me.

I opened a thread about this very thing: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3205231/posts

No it is not worth at cheer.

At 95%, it burnt itself out pretty quick. At 70% (which is a bit of a cut off game, lets see how many active cases recover), more people will travel with Ebola and spread it.

If we are not careful, we may be seeing the first modern plague. At 70%, with a million cases, you are talking the end of the societies impacted. Not a hit, not a set back, the end.

10% death rates almost plow civilizations under. Imagine what 70% will mean.

Not really. At a 90% fatality rate, the outbreak would burn itself out quickly. That's why the apparent 50% rate up to this point has been so terrifying. Half of those getting infected would not die in three weeks, but would continue to move around and spread the infection for six months, and so on.

The 70% fatality rate that WHO chose to report today is slightly less terrifying than the 50% fatality rate, but will result in wider spread, and subsequently an exponentially higher number of deaths than would a 90% fatality rate.

Gee, with this 50% to 70% fatality rate, it's almost like a more perfect biological weapon.

As far as I know every known Ebola patient that came to the USA has recovered. That is called 100% folks.

I've seen people healed from blindness and lifetime crippling ailments at those summer revivals. No kidding. And people in 127 different towns saw the same people miraculously relieved of their hopeless conditions.

Government is an even greater scam.

In addition, many of them have malaria or HIV, which weakens them against Ebola. The malaria can be treated, but not the HIV.
