So, what's the worse case scenario worldwide, based on extrapolation of these charts?
Is the recent activity at the Georgia Guidestones related to this?

i see people freaking out about troops going there but the problem is WE HAVE TO STOP IT THERE. there's just no way at all to keep it from coming here if we don't get it under control in africa. we'd have to completely seal ourselves off from ALL countries and that would collapse us faster than ebola will. we haven't been told about a plan to bring those troops back.... they may never come back. being in the military they are aware that when they go to battle they may not live. that's their job. they joined the military to put their life on the line to protect our country.

I wonder why the Spanish government killed that nurse's dog rather than quarantining the dog to learn more about human to canine transmission? Could it be that the dog showed signs of Ebola?
The government never lies to protect us. The government lies to protect the government.

The charts are based on reported cases and deaths from WHO. This outbreak has already doubled about 13 times in about 10 months. It only has to double at most 20 more times to have doubled 33 times. If it continues doubling at the current pace (doubling again 13 times every 10 months), that will take a little more than 15 months, which would be before the end of January 2016.
Long before then, economies and social systems would collapse in pretty much total chaos. Food and other necessities would be in short supply. A worst case scenario with Ebola would likely be the end of this civilization as we know it.

The information posted is the gleanings of phone conversations over the last couple of days.
As the person on the other end of the conversation is in a room, often times they will be attended by medical staff so a conversation will be cut short and not able to be picked up for a bit.
And there is the fact that this person does not want to endanger their ability to gather information that might not be let slip if it were known to be floated out.
The staff is satisfied with me response to their request and I did receive applause for the thread.
All that said, this is hearsay, thus my posting this in the grey area.
I will add a version of ikonoklast's disclaimer:
Please do not do anything you might regret based on this thread. Hopefully efforts to contain, quarantine, treat, prevent, or cure Ebola will eventually be successful, and hopefully sooner rather than later.

Thanks for posting.
Just making sure I read that right: the relative is a nurse, but is also a patient?
Oh, and please check your messages. Thanks.
I will add that my source is being treated for personal medical issues unrelated to the larger topic at hand of Ebola and will be discharged in a day or two.
They have 15+ years of nursing experience and has been concerned about this particular virus for longer than that.
Afterwards, they have agreed to an interview with NLBS at which point more concise and concrete information should be forthcoming.
Any speculations should be posted to this thread.
I will probably not have much more solid info to share until that time, but anything I can, will be shared as soon as I am able.

I hope there is enough credibility within my body of work here to maybe give what (admittedly little and somehwat vague) info I have shared at least a little more weight than ol' Bernie gets, eh?

Here's a little tidbit from the WHO website:
who.int
People remain infectious as long as their blood and body fluids, including semen and breast milk, contain the virus. Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery from illness.
I thought there is no way jaded would want this important info buried on page 12 or something of this thread and will let us know soon, not Days from now(I think they drop NLBS on Fridays?).
