discoduro,
The problem with those charts, and their attempt to make people feel less afraid of this, is that this strain of ebola is being described as having a 70% chance of mortality if you have it. Hepatitis, HIV, SARS, Mumps, Measles - these don't kill people within a month of acquiring it.
You have less of a chance of getting ebola, but if you get it, your probably fucked. People who get mumps and measles don't die from it, certainly not in the numbers possible with an ebola pandemic.
- Valid point. I'm like scarabin, the media kinda needs to f off. Being informed and being scared are two vastly different things.discoduro
