Solve : The Ebola crisis. Study the numbers.?

Answer»

Yes, not a computer TOPIC. But a story with numbers. Many of you are into STATISTICAL analysis of social issues. You kn ow numbers do not lie, people lie.
Check it out. Review the PUBLISHED statistics. I think you will agree that the Ebola threat is very real. It has an EXPONENTIAL growth rate.

GENEVA — West Africa’s deadly Ebola epidemic is probably much worse than the world realizes, with health centers on the front lines warning that the actual numbers of deaths and illnesses are significantly higher than the official estimates, the World Health Organization said.
So far, 2,127 cases of the disease and 1,145 deaths have been REPORTED in four nations — Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone — the W.H.O announced Friday. But the organization has also warned that the actual number is almost certainly higher, perhaps by a very considerable margin.
From WHO, The World Heath Organization.

If anything, it is underrepresented, not exaggerated.
This seems to be an real history of the deadly disease.

Here is a recent story that indicates it has been under reported.

Sadly, that makes it hard to do a true study of the growth and distribution of this threat. So far, there is no real proof that health and hygienic are a factors.

Does anybody here know where to find accurate statistics that can be studied by computer models? Maybe a computer analysis could lead to an effective prevention and or cure of this horrible pathological menace.

And don't say it will never leave Africa. Look at the numbers.
