Gosh! I thought Obama fixed all this. I mean, he appointed somebody — what else is left to do?

they throw the US and Spain in that group as if they had many obola cases, which they do not...and any obola cases that are here or in Spain came directly from Africa...in the US, its only here becuz our prez obola basically loosened the visa application process and invited it here....

Mortality rate is now at 49%.

You basically have a 50-50 chance of survival.

According to WHO, we also crossed the 10,000 new case threshold on 20OCT14.

I think the 10,000 customer got a lovely prize.

Sloughing bowels
Travel Visa to the USA
Driver’s License
Precinct ID card (don’t forget to vote mail-in - you may not make it to the general)
Obama Phone
Free Healthcare
Obama Cheese (appetite is off, however)
Obama House (Section 8)
Free Transit Card (Gets you on public transportation for free in whatever locality you live in (ORCA = WA, for example))
You’re own CDC/WH/WHO spokesperson who will defend your homicidal actions in flying into the US.
You’re own Clipboard Guy - he walks behind you without protective gear and coordinates the actions of the people wearing the BSL-4 gear (Mel Brooks couldn’t have invented anything more absurd)

How compromised are the survivors? Do they return to vigorous health or are they shuffling shells of their former selves?

That does not seem to be the case for Ebola victims that are from the US or Europe, have the disease detected early and are treated outside of Africa.

Thus far, the survivability for that cohort is 100%.

The “real” death toll is likely well over 15,000 now. WHO has admitted they can’t keep track of people that die outside of their centers.

What is going on with the suspected Ebola case in Mali?

Thats 49% of all cases. The mortality rate on cases that have reached the end of the infection one way or the other is much higher

That is not how you calculate mortality.

The newly infected aren’t dead yet. Its closer to 70% based on cured/dead.

Until the infection rate rises here.

"Countries currently affected by Ebola: Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Spain, and the United States of America."

Every Ebola virion THANKS the EXEMPT US Congress
who have given them permission to expand and mutate.
