Theoretical number of people who will
die of Ebola if the deaths from Ebola
continue to double each month

September 2014 512
October 2014 1024 Die IST-Zahl beträgt bereits über 4.000 Tote und 10.000 Infizierte

At 4 billion, two hundred and ninety four million, nine hundred and sixty seven thousand, two hundred and ninety six, that figure represents more than half the world population, so infection and death rates should fall dramatically as there will not be enough people around to keep up the infection rates. In fact by May to June 2016, death rates will already be falling as the cumulative death rate for half the world's population will have been surpassed, that is more than three and a half billion people.
As the rate is already at 2900 dead by September 20, 2014, these columns indicate that Ebola is doubling at a shorter period than one month or that the first death from this outbreak occurred earlier than December 2013.
