Dangit, it’s 6:40 and my brain ain’t workin’ yet. I was told there would be no math.

6,400.

Excepting we don’t know the transmission rate, etc. ;-)

Nobody knows, which is the point. There could be a few, dozens, hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands infected by now.

Ebola is not as easily spread as some fear.

Although the first patient, a businessman named Patrick Sawyer, was vomiting on his flight in, none of the roughly 200 others on the plane fell ill. Others did after helping him into a taxi to a hospital.

And a patient in Port Harcourt went to her church and became violently ill during a ceremony in which the congregation laid hands on her. But none became infected.
