#1 The only strategy that can work at this stage (and probably the last couple of months) is forced containment, ie shooting people who try and leave containment areas.

It means condeming thousands to tens of thousands to save millions.

I am certain no one will make that call until it is too late.

#2 By my calculations, extrapolated from the WHO figures until they stopped printing them, we should be up for 7500 new cases this month.
November: 17,000 new cases.
Then it starts getting bigger exponentially
December: 38,000
January; 86,000

#3 those figures are of new cases only. Of those, I estimate 50 per cent will die.

Basically within two years, half the world's population will be dead.

#4 Yep, your average anumerate person doesn't get the exponential thingy.

#5 I blame it on ~~the man~~ climate change and the republican led sequestration. As you will note, the mortalities are disproportionately democrat or potential democrats.

#7 The upshot is that the human race is gone by Sept 2016, thereby saving us from the tyranny of a Hildebeast presidency.

#9 anon 1 - I believe that is the desired outcome. I'm becoming more of the opinion that there are entrenched minds that want ebola here in the US. Of course, being elites, they can safely manage the situation...as they see fit.

#10 Even if half the die-hard Democratic voters are dead by Election Day 2016, they will still vote the straight Dem ticket, you betcha.

#11 Champ is said to now be getting involved, cancelling fund raisers and trips. The Dems are pulling their campaign machine out of Kentucky. Nothing from Boehner or the pubs regarding Ebola or much of anything else. I have to wonder if their already planning on a postponement of the November election.

I have no doubt they'll try, B. >:-(

#14

If it can be validated that ebola has the potential to become aerosolized, that will be a massive game changer. Anyone recognize this cone shaped object ?
