Media Mathematical Model Shows How Ebola Will Spread

“Worse Case Scenario… An Extinction Event”...

Health officials around the world are scrambling to contain the Ebola virus with many, including the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, now preparing for its eventual escape out of West Africa.

According to CDC director Tom Frieden, the ‘window of opportunity’ for stopping the spread of Ebola is closing rapidly. In July, as the virus surged across west African borders, Frieden downplayed its potential to reach U.S. shores. “It is not a potential of Ebola spreading widely in the U.S.,” claimed Frieden in a preemptive effort to prevent panic. “That is not in the cards.”

The cards, apparently, have been reshuffled, as Frieden now joins a growing chorus of concerned officials around the world. “This is not just a problem for West Africa, it’s not just a problem for Africa,” Frieden said last week. “It’s a problem for the world, and the world needs to respond.”

In the United States, hospitals are quietly preparing Ebola infection wards and procedures for what many believe is the inevitable arrival of the virus on U.S. shores.

Mathematical models performed by numerous researchers suggest that anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 people globally could contract the virus by December of this year.

Researcher Yaneer Bar-Yam, whose models predicted the rise of the Arab Spring just weeks before it actually happened, has been modeling viral outbreaks since 2006. In a report published in conjunction with MIT and the New England Complex Systems Institute, Bar-Yam and colleagues developed a host-pathogen model to predict the spread of emergent diseases, including Ebola, in evolving ecosystems.

Political correctness is going to cost a lot of lives. Just ban Africans from western civilization and we'll all survive. You can feel guilty later. lol

Could you just imagine down the road when whole cities are infected? In the interest of the survival of those that don't have Ebola, the military may have to intervene and use nerve gas on the entire contaminated city.

While we do face the possibility of a rapidly spreading global pandemic, I see a different danger lurking. That would be having the virus establish a low grade foothold on every continent. In this scenario the virus would be present but effectively dormant, with no known active cases. Then, at sporadic intervals we would see outbreaks occur here and there at different places around the world. Gradually, the regions vulnerable to experience future outbreaks would expand. Eventually, as outbreaks occur more frequently, the economic and medical resources of earth's nations would be overwhelmed and defeated, leaving isolated communities to fend, more or less, for themselves.
