Maybe, but his numbers are wrong and I encourage people to do their own research, or at least more than was done for this article.

...
300 new cases in June, almost 750 in July. That's getting close to an exponetial increase. Do research. Don't listen to these articles have off the head numbers.

200 new ones in 5 days of Auguest=1200 new cases by the end of the month.
You could at least get your own maths right, when criticizing others. ... Exponential increase, with more than a doubling every month, that would make almost 2000 cases in August. Fits fairly well with those 200 recent cases too.

It doesn't matter if its four weeks to double or eight weeks, not when you are have it. And this is not a true exponential, airlines make it a non-linear Laplacian type function which means expect cliff face increases once out of Africa. Especially if ease of spread is down to some slight mutation of its own rather than humans having changed.

Seasonal influenza is great. Kills off a lot of old fuckers and little kiddies. I hate kids and old fuckers clog up the roadways. If they'd died yesterday they wouldn't be in front of me today. Die already.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Need a mass tragedy like Ebola Plus to bring common humanity back to the folks who survive. Acting like a multitude of rats in a small tin at present. :read:

Ebola is a third world disease. Healthy educated people with access to good quality healthcare won't be bothered. Flu is a far greater threat.
