ZURICH—The Ebola virus is killing 70% of the people who contract the disease, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, and as many as 10,000 new cases a week could be reported by early December.

Dr. Bruce Aylward, the WHO assistant director-general in charge of the organization’s response to the epidemic, said the Ebola virus is “still moving geographically, still escalating” in some bigger cities. He expressed concern the disease could spread to countries that share borders with Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, the epicenters of the current outbreak, singling out Côte d’Ivoire as particularly vulnerable.

70% mortality rate.

70% in poor African countries with shitty limited medical facilities.

A CDC internal memo raises the spectre of Ebola having an 'aerial shedding' capability:

Unknown what the rate will be with more expensive treatment given the low polling pool now, but projected to be 25%-50%

Boyfriend of the infected nurse in Texas is now in hospital with Ebola like symptoms.

Spain is 2 for 3, the nurse doesnt appear to be doing too well.

Those Germans and their Africa tier healthcare system.

Obesity kills around 400,000 North American's annually. Just sayin'.

Not me. I never grew a rat-stache. Suicidal Tendencies were OK but I still wouldn't wear their bling for them. And Anthrax just plain sucked. It took a momentary association with Public Enemy to even get one good song out of them.

Obesity is a symptom of a lack of self-discipline.

I hope I'm wrong, but it's an almost near certainly that more people in North America will die of flu-related problems in the next six months than will die from Ebola.

But that won't stop many people from being hysterical enough not to go to public places OR to have them get their flu shot.
