[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1181705, member: 14544"] Numbers don't make sense with the story. If the disease is as contagious as they say, 3400 deaths with ~ 50% death rate puts it at ~ 6800 people infected. In poverty stricken area that is so crowded and unhygienic with thousands and millions of people.... it's really not that high of a death rate- this has been going on for several months. 3k people died on 9/11. Not trying to sound uncaring, far from it, but the numbers aren't making sense. If 370 health care workers have been infected, then that is roughly 5% of ALL infected people. Not very good odds for a health care worker. This seems consistent with a very infectious disease, and not one that is only infecting 1 to 2 people as per infected person as I read somewhere- maybe even here. Something isn't right. Either more people have died and it is being unreported, or it's not as infectious as they say. But saying that, they have a lot of health care worker infections to explain. If 5% of all aid workers are being infected, how many death warrants did we sign by sending 2k soldiers to assist? 100 to be infected and ~ 50 to die? This doesn't make any sense to me. Lock the area down, express approve potential FDA studies and production of products if they appear beneficial and this is a true emergency, and be done with it. With a mortality of better than 50%, what more could you need to fast forward the bureaucracy? And what more information could you need to warrant stopping any and all incoming traffic with a designated isolation period from hot spot locations? Nothing here makes sense or passes the smell test. Something stinks and I think it's because someone needs a distraction from the ciaos of the world in general because of failed leadership by the free world. Whether it has been created through sensationalism, or just not stomped out when it should have been, or both I have yet to decide. There was a great article on the response to Ebola in the 70's vs the very delayed response this time. Wish I could find it again. There is a stark difference in how they were handled. One stopped the disease and required very little overall effort. The other is getting tons of headlines. Wonder how that ISIS thing is going in the Arab Spring vacuum? Wonder how many non-islamic converts in the world lost their heads today? [/QUOTE]
