In 10 Days, The Current Ebola Outbreak Is Poised To Claim More Lives Than The Previous Entire History Of The Virus… WHO: Ebola Outbreak Unprecedented
Investmentwatch
The number of people dying in West Africa from the ongoing Ebola outbreak is poised to surpass the total number of people to ever have died from the virus in just 10 days, according to World Health Organization figures. Up until sometime in early 2014, the Ebola virus had killed 1,548 people since being discovered in 1976. As of Monday, Ebola had killed more than 1,350 people across West Africa in the five months since the outbreak was first declared there. Another 1,000 people could be dead by the end of October if the death rate continues at its current pace.
Despite an influx of money, materials and personnel, an average of more than 25 people died each day this August in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, according to the latest WHO figures. That rate has nearly doubled since July, when 13 people on average died each day.
Nigeria Confirms 2 New Ebola Cases
Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu said both newly infected people are the spouses of two caregivers who contracted the virus and later died after giving treatment to Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian-American man who flew into the country infected with the virus last month.
Get back to me when they have 20,000 deaths. Then I will know we have something as dangerous as Influenza on our hands.
Although, last night I heard that last weekend this guy met this hot chick at a bar, I think it was in Mankato, MN and he took her home for the night. In the morning he woke up and she was gone. When he went into the bathroom on the mirror it said “Welcome to the Wonderful World of EBOLA” in lipstick.
Police are investigating. Be careful out there!!!
