Exponential: Ebola Cases Now Double Every 3 Weeks; CDC Warns As Many As Half A Million May Be Infected Soon
Since the start of the outbreak, the Ebola virus has infected 5,357 people, killing 2,630, according to the WHO; and as The UN explains, the outbreak is the largest the world has ever seen with the number of cases is doubling every three weeks. As Sierra Leone instigates a 3-day nationwide shutdown to contain the deadly virus, the UN Secretary-General explains "Ebola matters to us all," as we noted previously the odds of the infection coming to America is around 18% by year-end. The CDC, however, hot on the heels of the UN's proclamation that "the gravity and scale of the situation now require an unprecedented level of international action," has warned that unless government intervention is increased significantly, 550,000 people could be infected by the end of January. "Contained?"
As The Secretary General of The UN stated...
The Ebola crisis has evolved into a complex emergency, with significant political, social, economic, humanitarian and security dimensions. The suffering and spillover effects in the region and beyond demand the attention of the entire world. Ebola matters to us all.
The outbreak is the largest the world has ever seen. The number of cases is doubling every three weeks. There will soon be more cases in Liberia alone than in the four-decade history of the disease.
In the three most affected countries – Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone – the disease is destroying health systems. More people are now dying in Liberia from treatable ailments and common medical conditions than from Ebola.
The virus is also taking an economic toll. Inflation and food prices are rising. Transport and social services are being disrupted. The situation is especially tragic given the remarkable strides that Liberia and Sierra Leone have made in putting conflict behind them.
National governments are doing everything they can. I applaud the courageous actions of the governments, communities and individuals on the frontlines, including local health workers, Médecins Sans Frontières, the International Federation for the Red Cross and Red Crescent and UN entities.
The gravity and scale of the situation now require a level of international action unprecedented for a health emergency.
Sierra Leone has instigated a 3-day nationwide shutdown to try and contain the spread of the virus...
And now the CDC warns, things are about to World War Z...
The Ebola outbreak in West Africacould spread to hundreds of thousands more people by the end ofJanuary, according to an estimate under development by the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that puts one worst-case scenario at 550,000 or more infections.
The report, scheduled to be released next week, was described by two people familiar with its contents, who asked to remain anonymous because it isn’t yet public.
The projection, which vastly outstrips previous estimates, is under review by researchers and may change. It assumes no additional aid or intervention by governments and relief agencies, which are mobilizing to contain the Ebola outbreak before it spirals further out of control in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
“CDC is working on a dynamic modeling tool that allows for recalculations of projected Ebola cases over time,” said Barbara Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the agency, in an e-mail. “CDC expects to release this interactive tool and a description of its use soon.”
A separate worst-case scenario modeled last month by researchers at the University of Tokyo and Arizona State University predicted there would be as many as 277,124 new cases by the year’s end.
That was the high end of their estimate, though the researchers warned that “uncontrolled cross-border transmission could fuel a major epidemic to take off in new geographical areas.”
And as Bloomberg notes, they are going to need more money...
Curbing the outbreak will require investments of $988 million over the next six months, according to an overview of needs and requirements published by the UN.
About 30 percent of what’s needed has come in so far, Nabarro said earlier this week at a briefing in Geneva.
It appears "Moore's Law" has come to Ebol, and $1 billion seems like nothing: half a day's POMO?

Yep, just print it and go...
Read Pierre Ouliette's book "The Third Pandemic" last night.
Even for fiction that was unsettling.
Whether you are talking monkey cages or a city, at some point there will be a flair over, in which every critter is infected.
Then you'll see some panic.
Funny, just finished Peter Heller "The Dog Stars" last night. Great dystopian post-pandemic novel.
first "developed" country to import Ebola: Japan. and the Yen goes absolutely crazy (higher).
Is it time to short airlines?
No worries. Obama sent 3000 troops to fight Ebola and as you already know, US has the latest weaponry available.
“You can see that these doctors, who are highly trained people, got themselves infected,” said Dr. Lee Hieb, former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. “So sending troops into an area, if they’re dealing one-on-one with a patient, they’re not going to be able to protect themselves very well. It’s not easy to [prevent transmission], because you get tired and you get careless and you make some simple mistakes. All it takes is one virus particle.”

The last time I got really sick, it was a modeling tool that saved my life!
"You can see that these doctors, who are highly trained people, got themselves infected,” said Dr. Lee Hieb, former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. “So sending troops into an area, if they’re dealing one-on-one with a patient, they’re not going to be able to protect themselves very well."
But the Communist News Network viewers won't be screaming if we don't fly each infected soldier back to Atlanta for treatment. So it's all good.
Just about to up-vote - but didn't. I'm far from a communist, but I know what communism is. And CNN is not it (fascist, yes).....
We like communism? Be honest Pepe!
Catch ebola....and get a free plane ride to the US....we have a plan.
US bioweapons lab in Sierra Leone at the epicentre of Ebola outbreak
The Ebola Breakout Coincided With UN Vaccine Campaigns
"the odds of the infection coming to America is around 18% by year-end."
America's "open door" policy will kill us.
We can't "discriminate" against ebola carriers.
How the fuck do they know what the "odds" are? And what meaning does this statement have? If one case shows up does that mean it's arrived; who the fuck cares. What kind of stupid ass propaganda is this.
Ebola's very bad. But ass cancer is even worse. Maybe you'll fall victim to a serial killer. Something's gonna get you.
The Ebola Outbreak: U.S. Sponsored Bioterror?
How the fuck do they know what the "odds" are
Who runs Bartertown bitch?
It sure as fuck isn't O'Duffer.
18%....pftftftttt. It's 100% because it's the plan.
It's 100% because they already brought infected patients to America.
EVERYTHING isn't a CONSPIRACY.
In general, Americans are WAY more productive to the global economy than 95% of the rest of the world.
They want to kill off the "usurpers". We are bringing it here so we can create a world devastating, ebola based, military
weapon........drone delivery.
My hope is that they do the studies in LA, Chicago, Phioladelphia, NY, Detroit, Miami.......
And yet, there's all that algo hate...
Mot impotent, that’s my first thought. If the well-trained docs and nurses are catching this ‘non-airborne’ disease, sounds like the soldiers will be pretty vulnerable to the virus.
Never fear. Amerkun shoulders is exceptional
Don't know about shoulders, but Britt thought I had a magic wand.
Ah, the older we get, the better we used to be;)
Cuz thay eat mor chiken?
If Dr Hieb has such a problem with sending troops to West Africa, then his ass should have been on a plane to West Africa with a bunch of his fellow doctors FOUR MONTHS AGO.
Yeah, sounds like "he" needs to get a clue.
http://www.hieb2014.org/meet-dr-hieb.html
US Military Doctors going to Africa should only perform in consulting roles and should not even be in the same room as anyone "sick". Observing from behind glass walls in rooms with filtered air should be the only role they play.
It's Africa. There is very little glass and no such thing as filtered air there...
And why are we sending U.S. miltary? What the fuck is wrong with sending those Xe/Academi serial killers?
Cost?
3000 lives.
At first.
Africa is doomed. Check out this "hospital", and tell Barry to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irepY8Mip1E
3,000 US soldiers and how much ammo? Or are they sending explosive experts? The plan is to fight Ebola on its own turf before Ebola strikes in America. That has always been the plan when fighting any threat to America overseas.
Nuke the site from orbit.....it's the only way to be sure.
it's reported that there are 5357 cases of which 2630 have died.
So that leaves 2727 cases with the average time to death of 16 days.
That's 36723 hospital/care places needed right now.
I watch the enclosed youtube clip and the hospital I'm guessing would treat a couple of dozen.
So 1530 treatment centres are needed right now just to keep in front of the infections.
Even with 3000 troops building treatment centres, the vast majority of people are going untreated, and in a months time even more.
These troops are going to have a tuff time of it!
.....What the fuck is wrong with sending those Xe/Academi serial killers?....
They are busy being moderate Muslims and eating livers and hearts at the moment. I'm not even sure Ebola would infect them out of professional curtosey.
LOL. courtesy; not curtosey; but I'll give you a pass on that one for nihilistic attitude.
They're busy in Ukraine.
Sure. Gotta protect our precious military.
Thank you for support.
..is it just me, or does this whole ebola ordeal have the stench of 9/11 about it? The Joseph KONY false flag did not work out too well.
So let's bring in a real plague. US Army is now playing the reluctant role, when really, it wants to establish Army Base Zebra to recolonize Afrique and deny China any future resources.
Much easier to rule over a population if 90% of them are compost.
The Joseph KONY false flag did not work out too well.
Yeah....it sure as hell didn't.
Listen. I feel like I have "EBOLA" right now. I was up all night celebrating the BA BA IPO and you would not believe what we did but I can only tell you it was highly illegal but since we made some today we thought "NO" problem but what was great was the fact that,
man, you just don't know in life. It's like one day you have a new "ZERO" on the end of your account, 500 grams of blow in your safe, and about 6 new "FEMALE" friends.
But what worries me greatly is how much negativity I read on website such as zer.......com. Does anyone really trade on here or are you all here to bitch and complain? I feel sorry for the Americans who "SEE" the fruit on the tree but for some reason never reach out and pick it.
/end-of-rant
The people who have the zeros are not stupid enough to buy this market. I have seen this shit twice already, and this one is set up way worse than the other two.
He's in India. He's impressed if he discovers a 6 square meter section of the Ganges is body part free. His frame of reference is a little off.

We are glad too.

Go stick your head in the toilet for ten minutes; that'll take care of the whole problem.
...or go long Scott, 3M and whatever mega corp that makes Chlorox.
Double post -- oops.
Better than a doubling post. "The Hitler Virus" was written by Senator Ron Wyden's father.
The subject of course was ideological. Interestingly...his father was one of the American Psychologists sent to analyze the Third Reich's "top of the line." They analyzed them for quite some time...
What, before they brought them all here to the US with Operation Paperclip?
Why not just psychoanalyze them here? Europe was such a bummer after WWII.
Oldie but a goodie. A professor who refers to himself as "The Lizard Man" calls for exterminating 90% of the population with ebola and gets a standing ovation from his fellow ecologists.

The joke's on them, because maybe .01% of them are going to get the 'cure'.
And here we have the famous National Security Study Memorandum 200, describing the need to depopulate underdeveloped countries, so the USA could extract more of their mineral reserves;

Apparently it did. Twice that we know of.
I can hardly wait - three time's the charm. What's next?
But one dead American frees up more than 30x as much oil as dead West African...
The numbers are vary for less important commodities (copper, steel, aluminum, cattle, corn) but the pattern is unmistakable.
Throw in SNAP and SSI costs, and it's a no-brainer...
Wow, the Africans are pretty fucked then, if this reading of the situation is right.
Go read "Spillover" it is all about these viruses that cross species to humans. Reasonable amount of space was spent on Ebola. The nasty on these viruses is that they are sloppy when they replicate. There is no editing and error correction the way there is in most DNA things. These mutate while you watch. That is one reason that there has not been a generalized AIDS vaccine.
Now your scaring me.
LOL. There has been no 'generalized AIDS vaccine' because THERE IS NO AIDS VIRUS!

I'm pretty sure they will be able to print humans pretty soon, so why not just save each victims DNA in a repository, and then when the tech is available, print them out?
Printing will save the entire world, we can probably print out a new world too.

No, no; we need the money for the liver-eating "moderate rebels" in Syria.
And remeber the more people infected means more people who may have been infected went up exponentially. We are seeing the start of a pandemic.
Aww shucks. 3000 USTroops can handle this, now stop this nonsense,I have to worry about politically incorrect NFL Football players...
Didn't you hear? The defense department found $500 million sitting around that they could spare. Apparently that is small change to the pentagon that they find in the couch cushions.
Finally, another ebola story. Only 2630 dead after a month of untreated cases roaming the streets of the shittiest, dirtiest slum in Liberia. I just don't see how this can be very contagious.
Sucks to be poor in west Africa, but if it was really contagious we'd be reading about hundreds of thousands of cases by now.
its actually fairly contagious apparently from the hazmat healthcare workers contracting it but the question is what is its real mortality rate with reasonable medical care and that appears to be no worse than 20%.........a far cry from the 50-90% reported earlier
Which of those qualifiers says those workers actually knew what they were doing?
Even the WHO admits that these numbers are a minimum, not a realistic estimate, which is probably some multiple of reported cases. In many areas there are simply no medics, connected to the outside to report much of anything.
From the map the Tylers put up a couple of threads back, it is clear the disease must be in Mali and Ivory Coast by now, but they have yet to report any cases.
This is an interesting article about case fatality rate for this outbreak. It explains that the lag-adjusted CFR is running about 85%, which is something that can't be realized in the early part of an epidemic.
http://healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/estimating-fatality-2014-...
Sobering.
informative link, Jenna. Thanks.
Listen. It's not a joke. A friend of mine in southern India was reading a "STORY" about eboma on the Internet and he fucking caught it. Just like that!! Dead 9 days later.
So listen, be careful out there. I put Saran Wrap around my computer when I get to the eboma stories. Just a heads Up.
Fatality rate "only" 20%. One in five.
Do you know what the rate is for the flu? You know, the one we panic over every winter in the USSA, line up for our shots, spend squillions of dollars fighting? It's about one in 300,000.
"Only" 20%. Fucking idiot.
Listen Dog. The reason that the USSA beat the panic drums is so they can "CREATE" fear. Then everyone line up for shots. Then CIA "InjectsTheVenom" into you.
Why all the downvotes on this? It's obviously accurate. Flu is big business. Many documented cases of intentionally-adulterated vaccines (look up tetanus and birth control vaccine). He leaves out empire-builing on the part of government and semi-government organizations, but he's right on the money.
Listen. I bought some Alibaba stock, made a "PROFIT", and now public Zhememy #1. God Forbid.
Put Saran Wrap around your entire body. Start with your head so you can protect your vulnerable eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Make it air tight. Then you will be safe from Ebola, but more importantly Ebola will be safe from you.
If you are going to troll, make it funny. This is innane.

Listen Creant. Man are you "GOOD" at the low "BLOWS". Anyhow, I don't know where all this nastiness is coming from. I sense a deep seated anger in your tone and it worries me because normally you are very good-natured.
I hope you are ok. If you're not, and you need to vent, by all means, attack me. I can take it.
When American enter that final state of "REALIZATION" during the "DISCOVERY" process, things can get hairy. Frustrations can build and the steam needs an outlet. I "GET" it.
Listen. I took you off of my "IGNORE" list. You are my good friend and I dind't mean to say that but yesterday I celebrated because of BA BA and was intoxic and made a boo-boo so sorry. --Raj
Listen. That does it! I'm putting you on my "IGNORE" list.
But would you please, please, put us all on your ignore list; like you know; go bother somebody else.
And pick up the phone.
My laptop is down again.
Ah, MsCreant I detect a little irritation here, I think. I wish he would just stick his head in the toilet; if they have one there.
They do, but they don't call it that.
I believe the word they use for it is "Ganges".
I think it's a bathtub too.
And a cemetery.
And a drinking source,
Sounds pretty hi tech.
Put some Saran Wrap around your head.
Listen. The boo-boo "BEARS" must be pissed by Asians making bank and driving your market higher. Don't hate.
CFR. How appropriate.
Really, though, how many of them will get the cure? I'd bet, at this point, most of the CFR membership are just ass-kissers, and aren't wanted anyway.
Oh, the irony, to help plan and promote a significant piece of the global Eugenics plan, and then told they and their families are not getting the cure. I'd like to see their faces when they get that email.
Fuck 'em.
the Western docs and nurses DID know and still contracted it. Don't dismiss it as a lowly contagious disease...its not.......It will very likely be here by January maybe earlier. The question will be how much FEAR it injects into our JIT delivery systems. NOT saying it will bring it down but it is very possible. Something that must be considered in a highly concentrated, counter-dependent supply/delivery chain. IT is contagious and will come here.
Where do you get your "205" mortality figure?
20% is a guess based on seeing how a relatively small number of Western health care workers that contracted it survived without ventilatory support in Africa. They only had IV hydration and oxygen and made it through the respiratory phase which tells me its survivable IF you are healthy. Comorbities will be a problem for those that contract it here and their mortality rate will be higher. 20% in a healthy population is still high and will inject fear.
Prez obalo is working hard to hit those numbers
If you or someone you know has ebola....please phone the state department for your free plane ride to the US.
Inject fear indeed. As a comparison: The mortality rate of the 1918 Spanish flu is unknown, but estimated to have been 10 - 20 percent. It killed an estimated 3 - 6 percent of the global population. A 3 percent die off today would be roughly 216 million over a period of a few years.
"One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic."
- Joseph Stalin
So what does that make over 4 billion?
rounding error 3 digits to the right of the decimal place
Almost enough.
It was revealed to him in a moment of divine inspiration. We can't question the works of God, can we !!
I'm guessing that the hazmat health workers who contracted the virus did not get it from infected human beings they were treating at work but from animal and other vectors in their off hours. In other words, they became new patient zeroes; perhaps from eating a piece of fruit or from being exposed to some bat guano on the street. The longer this epidemic lasts, the more I tend to think that it isn't really as contagious as once feared and that the survival rate with decent preexisting health and decent medical care would go up dramatically.
None of this should be construed to mean that I would readily volunteer to expose myself to Ebola; I still remain concerned. But when you remember that ordinary influenza kills 120,000 people per year in America alone, it puts Ebola in a bit of a different perspective.
It is an interesting thought. How many patients are in fact new patient Zeros? How many are getting it from the original non human source. What is that source and how wide spread is it? Those are questions not being asked. What looks likley in Africa is that Ebola burns itself out by infecting some and killing others until the ebola free population give ebola less room the thrive.
Health Care workers and doctors who take precautions, still seem to get ebola at an alarming rate.
This is why I was absolutely aghast this virus was brought to the USA. We are not sure of our facts on transmission and this virus does seem to exist in an animal model. So we are giving an RNA virus, which is a mutating machine, the opportunity to find one here as well? There are no words to describe this. Stupidity, hubris, crimes against humanity?
Containment? Impossible! This is a highly infective virus. Perhaps a size comparison is in order here. If you imagine a bacterium the size of an elephant, a virus would be the size of a flea. An elephant is an easy target but who can shoot the flea on it? Technology is of little use here. The idea developing a vaccine against this monster knowing how it functions is very unlikely.The only choice is letting it burn out as it always had before and pray it doesn't find a new animal reservoir in which it can incorporate its RNA.
There is no reason to spend billions. That would be of little use but further
the spread as more interactions of the uninfected with the infected occur. I'm sorry this is so harsh. I wish it weren't so but there is simply no other way.
Miffed;-)
Thanks Miffed. We may need "harsh" to save us. To your point, from my reading so far, here are a few of the known animal vectors for hemorrhagic fevers:
Fruit Bats - Africa
Fat Mice - Bolivia
Pigs (probable) - Indonesia
Brown Rats - Africa
Monkeys - almost everywhere
It gets worse. In tracking flu viruses, which are better known, many scientists now think ducks and geese, specificly their excrement, is the ultimate source, and is simply picked up by many other critters when they drink. Good luck avoiding water fowl.
Migratory birds are a key spread for influenza. People don't realize how many animals it can recombine in resulting in Antigenic shift.
Antigenic drift, is the result of mutation over time of known strains of influenza (or other things, in a more general sense) which may lead to a loss of immunity, or in vaccine ineffectiveness. Influenza A virus is notorious for this and is primarily responsible for global pandemics.
I am not surprised we are being threatened by another RNA virus, Ebola. Well, if it doesn't pull it off, may be a novel coronavirus will step in. Seems like there is always a virus waiting to replicate in a susceptible population and we humans make it too easy. It's sad and a bit embarrassing when the sentient loses to a viral particle.
Miffed;-)
Looking at this epidemic from the standpoint of RNA Thread Viri, the earth is a big ball of water surrounding land filled with meat. Humans. Bags of cells. Ebola has no instinct, no drive other than burrowing into meat and hijacking the cellular apparatus to reproduce itself in a very efficient manner - one particle becomes millions in an incredibly short time.
Ebola Zaire has gotten loose in a packed meat house - any major city in Africa. And there are aircraft coming and going to and from Africa every hour of every day. Only an 18% chance of Ebola in America by Santa season ?? Good luck. Wonder what the London bookies have for odds.
The math is the truly scary part. Consider - doubling every three weeks (21 days). Six doublings between now and the end of the year - look at a calendar. That is 64 times the present number of what, 5,350 ... lessee now, that's
Great Fucking Chinese - that's Three Hundred Thousand infected (342,400) !!! And that's just based on historical numbers over the last few months that are under-reported due to slow or missing communication. It's Africa. Listening to the drums can be slow, but when the drummer dies, no word gets out.
Be afraid enough to be prepared.
A biosphere without viruses would be like trying to run the internet without using a network. That's what we're up against here. We're attempting to oppose and/or shut down a basic (and necessary) system function: the natural world's communication channel. Ain't going to happen. Preparing for the consequences of the inevitable spread of this disease beyond Africa and to these shores is more prudent at this point.
Listen, jezz us. That "SOUNDS" so scary. Wow, you USSA guys are all so smart about every things. I'm all ears.
Oh, please contract Ebola and fucking die
Listen Knuckles. Not yet, too much work to do still.

Just do it somewhere else.
Aw c'mon Bangy I did say prepare for "beyond Africa." That includes India doesn't it? Now you should appreciate that your USSA betters stooped to consider even misshapen wretches like you.
"How many patients are in fact new patient Zeros?"
As many as they can create, the sooner the better. Hence 3,000 innocents being sent to Africa with no real equipment, no real plan and no clue.
Same with sending thousands of Nigerian Muslims to the Hajj:
http://m.allafrica.com/stories/201409082233.html/?maneref=http%3A%2F%2Fw...
Thousands of potentially infected Nigerians, sent into the middle of the largest mass gathering of humans yearly on the planet. Around 3 million people, who have flown in from every corner of the globe.
It only takes one. If this wasn't intentional, the Saudis would tell the Nigerians those planes will be shot down as soon as they're in range. No, they're being welcomed in with open arms.
1,000 ebola cases would completely overwhelm the health care system in the United States, given the intensive treatment/isolation required.
