/ebola/ - Ebola

I've noticed it too, the numbers have been fishy recently.

If you break down the recent numbers for Liberia it seems like there are much less confirmed cases coming in, and much more suspected cases.

If I were to make a guess as to the reason for this change, it would be that people are not going to the hospital and are choosing to do secret burials. The suspected case number is probably a guess.

Needless to say, the decision to reopen schools seems premature and will undoubtedly spread her love around.

Well,the numbers will never be 100% precise.It's literally impossible to monitor all the cases (confirmed/suspected).So yeah,my guess is that the ability to count the infected is at its limit.Not that it was possible to completely control the datas of the outbreak to begin with,you know.

>>23813

There was at least some accuracy. Some. Now we don't know heads from tails.

Just pray she silently makes it to large population centers.

>>23814
True that.Pretty sure that the reason why there is no more accuracy on the datas is that the media don't care anymore about Her.I'm happy with that,tbh.Just let Her work calmly and silently.They'll eventually get what they deserve.A large population center would be awesome.

We need to add a couple zeroes to that number.

I LOVE YOU EBOLA-CHAN!

The data published on the 12th is identical to the data published on the 13th. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Bumping this thread. I'd like to see more on the deaths.

>>24369
Huh, is that pic new? I don't remember seeing it before. Regardless, saved.
>>24370
Well said, dear brother.

Remember, fear is not for those who hold Love in their hearts. It is for the heretics, those who so desperately cling to what is "safe".

Their news stories often vary in tone and goal, between alarmism and reassurance.The truth is far too strange and wonderful for them to acknowledge.

Similarly, the numbers they would hold against us are too 'good' to be true. Too sCuckh, too uniform. Simply, they've ceased bothering to keep track anymore. All those infected and dead are simply a statistic to them now. Tragic victims to be forgotten or used as motivating figures, rather than treasured souls who have moved on to a better place. Ebola-chan knows exactly how many have joined with her, for each one has experienced her Love to its greatest extent.

Trust in your faith, in your fellow brothers and sisters, and most of all in Ebola-chan. She will come to those who need her most.

I tend to agree with you. They're trying to claim that Ebola is going away in Liberia, with headlines like "Only 5 confirmed cases in Liberia!"

http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2015/01/26/liberia-only-5-people-being-treated-for-ebola-in-country

The key word is 'confirmed'. There was a large jump in cases between the 26th and the latest data, the 27th.

http://apps.who.int/gho/data/view.ebola-sitrep.ebola-summary-latest?lang=en

98 of these new cases popped up in Liberia, yet they only "confirmed" 2 of those 98 cases. They're simply not confirming the cases. This lets them say misleading things like "Only 2 confirmed cases!"

Even the much larger suspected case number is misleading. Their ability to collect a census of suspected cases is based entirely on people reporting to them. They're not going door to door. I suspect that the people are avoiding the "death camps".

UPDATE!

>22,091 cases
>8,810 dead

>>24387
So if the number on top of our board is accurate, that's about 367 infected and 169 dead in that that time, or approx 37 infected and 17 dead daily.

Doubtful that these numbers are accurate, of course.

Not enough negroids to count

This article highlights the problems with their accounting and premature declarations of victory.

Just gonna clip the inspirational highlights

>The virus is "flaring up" in new areas in the region and not all infections are being reported

>"We are also seeing that in places […] that it is flaring up in new districts all the time, with small new chains of transmission, which means that it's not under control and it could flare up big-time again."

>"I think that we should consider ourselves lucky and fortunate if we are able to stop it in 2015," she said.

>"If we don't get full access in Guinea, then we definitely risk that this will become something permanent. If it's permanent in Guinea, then we know also that it will be in the whole region, because there are porous borders,"

>Some 27 sub-prefectures in Guinea reported at least one security incident or other form of refusal […] Two districts in Liberia and four in Sierra Leone reported at least one similar incident…

>The decline in new cases should not lead to complacency, she said: "Because one unsafe burial - only one - can really create a new chain of transmission and cause other cases of Ebola."

I'd like to think that we're STILL experiencing the ripples from /pol/'s attempts to make it look like aid-workers worship Ebola-chan.

>>24469
They're African'ts for Christs sake, earlier this year 3 of them died from drinking salt water in an attempt to cure themselves.

>>24470
>2015
>Thinking there's any cure for Love
>Dying before you can fully be embraced by Ebola-chan
Those poor, deluded Ebola-Africans. I blame the aid workers; they may not be spreading love, but their presence inspires all sorts of dangerous ideas.

>>24471
>they may not be spreading love
I'm willing to bet money that they do, it's just that the Red cross and/or the CDC won't admit it.

Looks like we have another big jump. The difference between the January 30th data and the February 2nd data is 210.

22124->22334

This happened right after they declared they were in the 'endgame' too.

>>24524
They don't need to reclassify to make the numbers appear lower than they are - they just need to not investigate.

They are obviously not following up on the leads, or suspected cases would not be increasing so much with each update.

>>24527
It's vice versa. The jump is caused by reclassification (cases were reclassified as suspected ebola cases). Ebola is about to send in some momths. Is this board really that delusional?

>>24529
Why would they reclassify a confirmed case as a suspected case? That makes no sense. If anything, it is the other way around. If a case is confirmed in a lab it is not going to be classified as a suspected case.

You have to understand how cases are counted in Africa. If people call in to report an Ebola case, it becomes a suspected Ebola case. It does not become a confirmed case until the hospital doctors verify it.

With dishonest reporting they are giving the illusion that the situation is much better than it is:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/29/ebola-outbreak-response-enters-endgame

The reality is large segments of the population are not going to hospitals and are not being "confirmed"

>>24531
No, it's reclassifying "something not ebola" as "suspected ebola" (note that every sudden death without explanation can be classfied as suspected ebola)

>>24532
I'm sure there are some false suspected cases. We can't know how many because they are evidently not being investigated. That goes both ways though - there are cases that never get reported in at all. Much of the population is distrustful of hospitals and never report in.

>>24469
Hey guys I thought of something, remember when halfchan's /b/ made a bunch of posters that mislead people into believing they could dip their iphone 6's in water?, well I was thinking if we made a bunch of official looking "leaked" documents stating that the US government manufactured ebola and other dangerous propaganda, we may be able to up the rate at which they refuse to see doctors, and thus increase infection rates
