“You do not have an 84% death rate with 6,000 dead and 17,000 having been infected unless you have a huge jump in the infected this week which is not the case.
News reporting since a week before the elections has been clamped down on in a huge way.”
Oh yeah. I projected 24,000 open cases for Dec 1. There was 16K reported. Unless they are quietly field testing new drugs, they are effective, and they are not talking about it, then the numbers are likely off.
There are also people dropping dead in the US with symptoms of Ebola, only to have someone say they didn’t die of Ebola. What they DID die of was never mentioned, but it wasn’t ebola.
Ever since Ron Klain stepped into the job, the lock down and obfuscation of the news in the US is evident. I would imagine that’s what he was hired to do.
Now he’s stepped down. We’ll see what happens.
Another thing - not a PEEP about, or from, the army unit down there in West Africa to deal with this thing. Nothing.
It’s weird.
Those same funerals have been a common means of spreading the virus.
If the count was accurate, the death rate would be in the 30% range, indicating new and effective treatments.
If those treatments were that effective in country, why fly people out for treatment?
Early on, 70% was closer to the mark, and I have my doubts the situation has been that much improved, despite the efforts of a host of agencies from all over the world.
