Ebola predictions are starting to pick up steam, with those in the scientific community estimating that there could be anywhere from one to 130 additional cases in the United States by year’s end.
In a report from the Associated Press, scientists emphasized that they did not think the Ebola outbreak would hurt the U.S. as badly as it has other countries, but they did not rule out the possibility that there would be more diagnoses within America’s borders.
“I don’t think there’s going to be a huge outbreak here, no,” said Dr. David Relman, professor of infectious disease, microbiology and immunology at Stanford University’s medical school, in comments to the AP. “However, as best we can tell right now, it is quite possible that every major city will see at least a handful of cases.”
The AP asked several top infectious disease experts to run data simulations making the Ebola predictions, and the small number of cases noted above were the final results. Considering the U.S. did not foresee this disease reaching its soil as early as six months ago, it’s not instilling confidence in most with 60 percent favoring an Ebola travel ban from the affected nations.
I see Ebola becoming easy to take care of. Vitamin C seems to be one of the key
cures. It need not be the pandemic those who created it wished it was.
Stop spreading fear. Spread remedies.
And it is not true that the US did not see this coming. They made the
virus and then tested it on African, giving it to them in vaccinations by the red cross.
Just look at how far back the hazmat suits were ordered. I am sure they hoped it
would spread much faster.
People are waking up. They know about Bill Gates funding it. And that a patent was taken out
on it in 2010. That is at least 4 years of knowing and many years of planning.
I just saw an Ebola germ bootscoot across my living room carpet. Damn. This IS getting serious.
