That’s the chart to watch.

Thanks for the link. More accurate than the WHO numbers, but I believe still too low.

Also on Monday, Mercy Ships, which operates the Africa Mercy hospital ship, announced that the Africa Mercy was due to sail for the port of Cotonou, Benin, for its 10-month field service last week, but has delayed its departure pending further assessment due to the virulence of the outbreak in neighboring Nigeria.

Nigeria is not being banned from the Haj. That would provide a very rapid vector to the rest of the world.

1. the Ebola epidemic will be self contained in the region, but many more will be infected. R0 = about 3. It is, as you write, very dangerous in these poor countries, lacking even rubber gloves, but not in the industrialized world.

2. The big danger is a pandemic influenza.

3. The idea about 3000 Ebola suicide warriors is just the bad imagination from this crazy site http://www.thetotalcollapse.com/3000-ebola-martyrs-warned-ready-to-strike-america/ You can see other Bravo Sierra texts at their site.
