It seem that ~67% of total Ebola deaths since 1976 are due to the present epidemic. That percentage can only rise. Here's the data. not surprising, it the first time ebola has ever hit a population center. number will go up. |

I met a guy (.mil Doctor) this past weekend that is being deployed to West Africa within the next month. He was definitely not a happy camper.
I hardly knew what to say to him (without waxing negative) other than to thank him for his service and to wish him well.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Acknowledging that the Ebola epidemic sweeping Sierra Leone was worsening, officials here put hundreds of thousands more citizens under quarantine on Thursday, sealing off more than a quarter of the country and warning travelers not to get out of their vehicles in the districts under isolation.
Nearly all of the country’s 14 districts are now under either total or partial quarantine, with over one million people affected, as the disease advances into new areas. Infection rates have been rising in the capital, Freetown, a dangerous development because of the city’s density. Snark bait. |

U.S. military to quickly ramp up Ebola mission in Liberia
By James Giahyue MONROVIA (Reuters) - The United States plans to quickly increase its presence in Liberia, where military personnel are deploying to help the West African nation halt the advance of the worst Ebola epidemic on record, the general in charge of the mission said on Monday. Washington is sending some 3,000 soldiers to the region to build treatment centers and train local medics. Around half will be based in Liberia, with the rest providing logistical support outside the country. "This is about urgency and speed. So what you're going to see here pretty soon is forces flown here," Major General Darryl Williams told journalists in the capital, Monrovia. "I have 175 soldiers and I have another 30 that are in other countries that are beginning to set up the logistics hub to fly forces in here," he said. Snark bait. |

Sierra Leone's largest newspaper, the Awareness Times, is reporting with alarm that at least 1,028 Ebola patients appear to be missing in the country, as official Ministry of Health statistics account for a smaller number of combined victims and survivors of the disease than the total number of registered cases.

The Ebola outbreak may be over in two countries -- Nigeria and Senegal -- even as it continues to spread rapidly elsewhere in West Africa, U.S. health officials said Tuesday. No new Ebola cases have been diagnosed in Nigeria since Aug. 31, suggesting that the outbreak has been contained, according to a report Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The only case confirmed in Senegal was reported Aug. 28 in a man who survived. |

CNBC is doing it's part...headline front page...http://www.cnbc.com/
First confirmed case of Ebola confirmed in the United States: CDCThe United States has one confirmed case of Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday, marking the first domestic appearance of the deadly virus that has ravaged swaths of continental Africa. The as-yet unidentified patient is located in Dallas, officials say, effectively confirming a statement issued on Monday by Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. The organization said that an unnamed patient was being tested for Ebola and had been placed in "strict isolation" due to the patient's symptoms and recent travel history. Lower down on the page is a poll asking IF you'd modify your travel plans to Ebola being diagnosed in the United States. 66% say yes.  |

How can one be all accounting and the other not know anything? Because Nigeria immediately mobilized its public health sector, identified all the contacts, and isolated/monitored them until the transmission phase had passed. They can certify they are Ebola-free. Sierra Leone hasn't been able to do that since the epidemic began, which is why they are in a world of hurt right now. They either couldn't or didn't bother to followup on infected contacts, and now their outbreak is out of control. The lesson of this epidemic is don't let Ebola-infected people get away and make it to a crowded, filthy city, because if they do then all bets are off. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: the UN is functionally useless and frankly really has no input or use on this. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Leaving Ebola fighters behind to die: The United Nations established the U.N. Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER), based in Accra, Ghana, to spearhead the efforts to manage the outbreak, which has to date claimed more than 3,000 lives across West Africa. Almost every world leader noted the bravery of first responders to the Ebola crisis, calling them ‘heroes’. Despite all of the rhetoric seemingly laced with care and concern for the the victims, the fact remains that no African doctors or health workers have been evacuated as of yet to Western facilities for treatment. No Western leaders announced specific frameworks to evacuate African doctors or other health personnel who contract Ebola, which, at this stage of the outbreak, is indefensible. Very recently, Dr. Olivet Buck, a Sierra Leonean doctor, died after the World Health Organization denied a request that she be transported to Germany for treatment. In July, Dr. Sheik Humaar Khan, an eminent physician that headed up Sierra Leone’s Ebola response, died after negotiations for his evacuation. On Sunday, health officials reported that Liberia’s chief medical officer, Dr. Bernice T. Dahn, has been placed under a quarantine after her assistant died from Ebola on Thursday. Sierra Leone officials have criticized the WHO for its sluggishness on decisions to evacuate their country’s infected doctors. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said during the meeting on Thursday that the Ebola virus in Liberia had killed over 1,700, including "85 trained to save lives.” She added that the projected losses from the virus threatens to "reverse our gains in malaria control and child and maternal mortality.” Information control link. the UN is functionally useless and frankly really has no input or use on this. Without the CDC/USAMRIID/US government backing them up the WHO is little more than a health news agency. |
