During a talk with a crisis manager today on other things we talked about Ebola.
They are talking upwards of a million infections by January 2015. It was just a few weeks ago, they talked about 30,000 infections. They keep updating the numbers because people in that region continue to do very stupid stuff. His words not mine. They have changed the model so many times, because people in the area are surpassing peoples expectations on stupid!
I asked him what he thinks and the projection is accurate based on what they know this week. His fear is the disease jumps to other poor nations and large slum areas in other parts of the world. He said areas in India would make this outbreak look tame.
He does expect a few infections in the US by Christmas, but these would be from travelers. Poor sanitation and poor medical services are the main problems with controlling ebola so keep that in mind.
He also predicts that they (UN) will implement harsh means to end the stupidity if the model has to be changed upward again.
