I took the Wikipedia semi-logarithmic scale graph of the Ebola cases/deaths data from a few days ago and did a simple projection.
Talk about needing a bigger cart...
While the chart is interesting, the increase in the number of Ebola deaths will not continue at its current rate, but if it does, it means we are all dead two and a half years.
I think it would be more than that..
Ebola has to be spreading faster than they admit..
Ebola is spread by human behavior. Many of the people who live in the affected areas do not believe Ebola is a real disease. As more of them are affected, and the public health messages reach more people and they change their behavior, I expect the number of new cases to taper off.
