Current Ebola Epidemic Death Count Surpasses All Previous Outbreaks Combined

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Presented with little comment...

  • *EBOLA DEATH TOLL REACHES 1,900; CASES SURPASS 3,500, WHO SAYS
  • *EBOLA OUTBREAK HAS MORE DEATHS THAN ALL PAST OUTBREAKS COMBINED

Perhaps, when Doctors-Without-Borders and the World Health Organization start speaking in panicced terms about 'out of control' outbreaks, 'global crisis', 'world is losing battle', due to 'lethally inadequate' responses; that it's time for the west to start getting involved (as opposed to sending humanitarian advisers to Iraq and Ukraine).

You are all going to live in interesting times, looks like to me. Figure out what you stand for and get ready to stand for it because God is coming and man is she pissed.

Living in interesting times isn't a problem.  Dying in interesting times... that might be a problem.

You have it entirely backwards. The dead have no problems at all. Dying is an event that solves all your problems, while living is a struggle that never ends. Well, until you die.

That almost nobody gets the distinction is why things are allowed to spin out.

I love you cougar, but dying is an event that solves ALL of your problems?? You need to do more research on that.

Every black person I've asked can't tell me where Liberia or Sierra Leone is. This tells me one of three things are true:

i. black people are stupid

ii. no one (even people native to Africa) cares about Africa

iii. both i, and ii.

Then you must be blacker than the Ace of Spades.

You are turning playing cards into a racial reference, just like the uproar in DC when somebody used the word "niggardly".

They have to contain the news and panic until the November election is over. So Obama and his MSM machine keep everything quiet for the election.

If you have access to IV fluids, that replace your electrolytes, you are much more likely to survive Ebola. That's what keeps an Ebola patient alive... replacing fluids. If Ebola patients are given IVs AND the new drug, they'll, probably, survive but it may be because they had IVs, not the drug. IV fluid replacement is the key.

I'm sitting on 5 protocols that should hopefully lower the mortality rate to less than 5% - backed by military studies and the like.

Everybody pooh pooh's them so I'm like good luck!!

Pretty sue it's been clearly stated *several times* this is expected to reach 20,000 infected before it's over.  Are we taking daily counts?

A couple weeks ago I was projecting 5,000 dead ere the end. Might go over, looks like. Things are certainly heating up.

20,000 infected *is when the FUN starts*

It's R-naught is about 1.89 / month so we should have about 34,000 infected by the end of December

They *will* be quarantining cities in the United States.

Innoculations will be come mandatory every pharmaceutical companies WET DREAM

You watch we could see plane loads of people abandoned to die on the tarmacs by next spring.

The only planes arriving will be drone-piloted with complimentary body-bags. Even first-class will be self-serve.

Everyone here knows the risk that worldwide air flight poses in pandemics but I've never seen a graphic like this:

http://rocs.hu-berlin.de/D3/ebola/

Play with the box on the upper left to change the airport as point of origin and you'll see how the connecting cities change.

 

Still feel safe?

Since the WHO doesnt appear to want to issue updates, i tracked down the country reports.  as of Sept 1, the numbers are actually 3763 cases and 1906 deaths.  You can add another 53 cases and 31 deaths for the "unrelated" ebola outbreak in the Congo.  Based upon the textbook exponential growth rate, we are looking at 50,000 cases by end of year.

Since  the official numbers are badly underreported, I actually expect 200-300k cases by end of year.

The Ebola scare is Africa's equivalent of the batman colorado shootings, boston marathon attacks, sandy hook shootings and any other false flag that's gone down recently. It's a false flag. The fact that you guys are still falling for this ebola shit speaks volumes about how even the relatively infomred and discerning public still is to media false flags.

They say it began in dec 2013 but wasn't detected until March 2014. IF ebola was spreading as they suggest, there would be 350,000 people dead, not 3,500. Anyone with any familiarity with infectious diseases and the EBOLA virus should understand that.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Go, look into the mirror, and realize you are looking at a gullible fool who is still very much attached to his/her muppet antenna.

The game is changed Acrabbe.  They're making the false flag genuine now with real deaths.

The primary impact is miniscule .... even in the regions hardest hit, there are still 50 or more traditiional,  well-known causes of death which are eachstill  killing many more people.  Malaria, Dengue, Aids, tuberculosis, dysentery, just to name diseases ....

Its the secondary effect which will do the real damage ... the fear ... as people stop doing business with one another, buses, airplanes and trucks come to a standstill, shops close,  and water, food, gasoline, and everything else start to disappear ....

 

At least, the cops are going to cease pulling strangers over, expecially dark-skinned ones .....

Government says estimates of flu deaths in the US is 3000 or more per year.

Let me know when Ebola has killed hundreds of thousands. As scary as the news tries to be, ebola should have taken over the globe by now. MSM crap.

Europe and america have more indoor plumbing, better hygene, an oncoming winter where people emit less sweat and related bodily fluids. Also a better health care tracing of infected contacts. The one wild card is if ebola mutates to become airborne, which is probably not likely.  Until then do not have sex with a monkey, no matter what the monkey says.

This ebola yeild curve is better than a George Soros fund. Where can ZH invest? On the other hand Ebola is a Ponzi scheme, in that it eventually it runs out of Africans.

"hot zone " from preston (journalist tracking down an ebola outbreak in the us 1995) is really worth reading.
some details not read before:
- how they had a case of a person not having had direct contact with the infected animals and still became ill. the fact wasnt published. but notice, its about another strain than the one going around now, but its still very close.
- how ebola survives in many hosts (animals etc)...
- how 2 scientists, who had smelled at open flacons containing the virus, so very aware of the danger (see point one), didnt talk about the incident to their superior, fearing the quarantine (called slammer). they wanted to work on to name the new strain. uh.

lots of people i talk to think the quarantine measures outside africa will be much better. i doubt this. if scientists, knowing the risk, dont want to go into quarantine, how many others wont go? a few are enough. remember: theres no cure and no vaccine. 1-10% only of the clinical trials go finally to the market.

- and also nice in the book: how the agencies fight each others instead of helping each other.
- and how they organize everything so very perfect, and still sh*t happens... all the time.

the thing i think of most now is the fighters, bathing in blood, raping, marauding, travelling fast and far, shurely not caring about borders or quarantine. and other travelling bugs...
