Ebola Outbreak Doubles In 3 Weeks, WHO Warns "Conventional Means Of Control Not Working"

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has now killed 2,288 people (with 4,269 cases) according to the World Health Organization, but is accelerating dramatically. In a rather stunning admission, WHO warns, conventional means of controlling the outbreak are not working as the last 3 weeks have seen the number of cases and deaths double.

As The BBC reports,

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed 2,288 people, with half of them dying in the last three weeks, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.

 

It said that 47% of the deaths and 49% of the total 4,269 cases had come in the 21 days leading up to 6 September.

 

The health agency warned that thousands more cases could occur in Liberia, which has had the most fatalities.

 

...

 

In Nigeria, eight people have died out of 21 cases, while one case of Ebola has been confirmed in Senegal, the WHO said in its latest update.

 

On Monday, the agency called on organisations combating the outbreak in Liberia to scale up efforts to control the outbreak "three-to-four fold".

 

...

 

However, the WHO says conventional means of controlling the outbreak, which include avoiding close physical contact with those infected and wearing personal protective equipment, were not working well in Liberia.

Where it is...

 

Where it will be...

 

As the case and death count accelerates...

 

As WHO shows...

That's really one of the most overlooked factors in SHTF scenarios

African Union leaders decided to LIFT the ban on travelling and transport, to and from Ebola countries.

Will 30 days of food and water suffice for a boarded up and well armed family?

The only beneficial aspect of moving these infected oeople into America is if you move them into the White House and the Eccles Building. And select congressman and senators homes. Then Ebola could be a god send. Oh yea and the offices of bank CEOs too.

They've really got you guys going. I mean, you've all fully bought into this Ebola thing.

I've said it before twice and I'll say it again. If it was really the ebola virus that broke out in December 2013 and began being reported in March 2014, and it had mutated to enable easier transmission from person to health worker to person as reported, the number of deaths would already be in the hundreds of thousands.

Believing that Ebola is running rampant but only killing a few thousand people is like believing that reinforced steel skyscrapers can disintegrate into a cloud of dust on their own footprint at freefall speed without some sort of extremely powerful explosive.

Meaning, they got you with the shock and awe AGAIN!

Someone show me some real evidence of an ebola outbreak, not soundbites from controlled sources (CDC, WHO, Tulane Uni, etc) or the same, repetitive footage of masked men carrying white bodybags in some unnamed place and time.

Bunch of fucking muppets!

Keep telling yourself those comforting bedtime stories. 

Or, maybe you're a public health epidemiologist who knows what he's talking about.

If you were to make even the most modest effort, you would be able to confirm the outbreak for yourself. As it is, you are just a lazy troll.

"If we get 10k cases in the US, the hospitals will be overwhelmed, and schools will be closed.  We'll have some type of martial law shortly thereafter with quarantine centers."

Just the fear of touching anything will cause fear.  The only thing that stops the panic is a vaccine that's 100% effective.

Well, then we're good, because all vaccines are 100% effective, including the ones that are rushed through the testing pipeline.  Common, indisputable, hard-core, solid, full-on frontal full-of-shit-truth, bro.

Just to put htis in perspective: the Spanish flu outbreak following WWI killed more people than had died in the entire war. The Spanish flu did not have the advantages that ebola enjoys with modern jet air travel....the Spanish flu traveled by train....and the Spanish flu was not the slate wiper ebola represents.
