Re: >>>EBOLA 2014-15 >> Latest News and Updates for MERS, Ebola and other spreading nasties<<<
The 2.57 ROI translates to what as far as a monthly multiplier? I understand monthly multiplier is a rough form-fit but my purpose here is to make a general model to predict events in the US. If the average infection is 12 days, then I would calculate the monthly multiplier as 13 with a ROI of 2.57 and 12 day cycle... or should it be a 21 day cycle? Your thoughts?
 Quoting: Cheyenne


A monthly multiplier would only track to a linear progression, but if you want a dangerously fast and dirt multiplier you could reduce it down by -

Let X(1) = #ACTIVE_CASES on DAY(1), which should be the most recent full count of cases in the geography.

Let Y(1) = 2.53 * X(1) = #INACTIVE_CASES on DAY(1),
which assumes that there are a "full queue" of incubating cases.

For each DAY,

move [Y(n)*1/8.8 of Y(n) into X(n) because I am looking at a mean incubation period of 8.8 days

With an ROI of 2.53~ across a contagious period of 11.8 days, in a 30 day month, you'll have (11.8/30) * 2.53 = 0.9951, as a daily multiplier for transmissions from active cases


Therefore,

Let Y(n) = Y(n-1) + 0.9951 * X(n) To instantiate new cases in incubation based upon the ROI

And remove the dead from X(n) at a rate of 0.3933 because the mean duration of symptoms is 11.8 days in a 30 day month and 11.8/30 = 0.3933

Let x(n) = X(n-1) - (.3933 * X(n-1))

So in short, and based upon an X-cycle of 11.8 days where a patient is symptomatic but not dead, and a transmission factor of 2.53, and you'll have a net gain estimator factor of 29.854 for any give 30 day period. Now, you'll notice that 30/29.854 is almost 1 (in fact, it is 1.00489)

This all boils down to this: if you have # of active cases on any give day, you can simply double it and have an anticipated number of active cases for the same day of the following month...


...and AGAIN, I have to say it: these calculations are for a specific geography. You can't try to condense numbers together from geographies which are unrelated in the real world.
 Quoting: BattlesightZero


BZ: Thanks for the insight. A couple of wrinkles:

A corpse can be contagious as well, until it is buried, and extends the infectious time of a victim by a couple of days. You may have already included this into your calcs.

As the numbers grow, there will be a shadow body of people who "recovered" from the virus. Unknown how infectious they are - I assume this accounts for part of the natural log function? Two comments on this:

For example, Mr. Odingo gets infected and transmits the disease to three people. He gets well, but passes the virus on to three more people over the next several months.

The other comment has to do with psychology. The more people infected, dead, or recovered, the more raw fear there is in a society. Soon it will progress from sterile CDC television interviews to your brother calling you late at night to talk about a co-worker who is in the last stages of the disease at home. The hospitals are full or closed.

Another Lucie Lecomte find, this one from Anadolu Agency: Ebola: First Warning in Bangui, a patient of 14 years Quarantine. Excerpt from the Google translation:

A patient of 14 years was quarantined Wednesday morning at Children's Hospital of Bangui, waiting for test results, provided in the evening, after showing symptoms of Ebola infection, reported the correspondent Anadolu.

The girl was brought from the other side of Oubangui River in lieu of river border between the CAR and the DRC, bloody nose and showed signs of fever, according to sources at the pediatric hospital. She was first taken to hospital Elisabeth Domitian Bimbo, on the southern outskirts of Bangui, before facing pediatric complex.

Panic was recorded in mothers of sick children hospitalized in the pediatric complex Bangui, witnesses said. Many left the hospital in a panic to return to their homes with their children.

Staff who received the child, both in the hospital that Domitian pediatric complex were identified and quarantined, according to the Minister of Public Health, Marguerite Maléavo Samba, who has moved pediatric complex.

"The clinical picture presented by this child can be caused by an infection or something else that Ebola. But as we are in a context of Ebola, we remain vigilant. This is why we isolate these patients for examinations," said Minister. "I tell people to stay calm, not to panic. Was not yet reported any cases of Ebola in our countries. We continue epidemiological surveillance."

Because the CDC has widely published guidelines about ebola many health entities are beginning to screen for cases. We will be seeing of a lot of "suspected" cases which are probably more correctly described as "screening" cases. Basically anyone with flu-like symptoms can be described as an potential ebola case - especially if they have any hemorrhaging and/or recent travel to West Africa.

I have reliable 2nd hand information about a "screening" case in Michigan. I have no confirmed details or I would post this case on the main forum. I will update if any further information is developed.

This is part of a graphic description.

[link to www.cydathria.com]

Ebola Zaire attacks every organ and tissue in the human body except skeletal muscle and bone. It is a perfect parasite because it transforms virtually every part of the body into a digested slime of virus particles. The seven mysterious proteins that, assembled together, make up the Ebola-virus particle, work as a relentless machine, a molecular shark, and they consume the body as the virus makes copies of itself. Small blood clots begin to appear in the bloodstream, and the blood thickens and slows, and clots begin to stick to the walls of blood vessels. This is known as pavementing, because the clots fit together in a mosaic. The mosaic thickens and throws more clots, and the clots drift through the blodstream into the small capillaries, where they get stuck. This shuts off the blood supply to various parts of the body, causing dead spots to appear in the brain, liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, testicles, breast tissue (of men as well as women), and all through the skin. The skin develops red spots, called petechiae, which are hemorrhages under the skin. Ebola attacks connective tissue with particular ferocity; it multiplies in collegen, the chief constituent protein of the tissue that holds the organs togehter. (The seven Ebola proteins somehow chew up the body's structural proteins.) In this way, collagen in the body turns to mush, and the underlayers of the skin die and liquefy. The skin bubbles up into a sea of tiny white blisters mixed with red spots known as a maculopapular rash. This rash has been likened to tapioca pudding. Spontaneous rips appear in the skin, and hemmoraghic blood pours from the rips. The red spots on the skin grow and spread and merge to become huge, spontaneous bruises, and the skin goes soft and pulpy, and can tear off if it is touched with any kind of pressure. Your mouth bleeds, and you bleed around your teeth, and you may have hemorrhages from the salivary glands -- literally every opening in the body bleeds, no matter how small. The surface if the toungue turns brilliant red and the sloughs off, and is swallowed or spat out. It is said to be extraordinarily painful to lose the surface of one's tongue. The tongue's skin may be torn off during rushes of the black vomit. The back of the throat and the lining of the wind pipe may also slough off, and the dead tissue slides down the windpipe into the lungs or is coughed up with sputum. Your heart bleeds into itself; the heart muscle softens and has hemorrhages into its chambers, and blood squeezes out of the heart muscle as the heart beats, and it floods the chest cavity. The brain becomes clogged with dead blood cells, a conditions known as sludging of the brain. Ebola attacks the lining of the eyeball, and the eyeballs may fill up with blood: you may go blind. Droplets of blood stand out on the eyelids: you may weep blood. The blood runs from your eyes down your cheeks and refuses to coagulate. You may have a hemispherical stroke, in which one whole side of the body is paralyzed, which is invariably fatal in a case of Ebola. Even while the body's internal organs are becoming plugged with coagulated blood, the blood that streams out of the body cannot clot; it resembles whey being squeezed out of curds. The blood has been stripped of its clotting factors. If you put the runny Ebola blood in a test tube and look at it, you see that the blood is destroyed. Its red cells are broken and dead. The blood looks as if it has been buzzed in an electric blender.

It added that the product, which was called Rapid Response Canada, was nothing but a hoax to rip-off unsuspecting Nigerians of their earned money.

A sanity check of our R-O figures: infected countries have a known population. When they "go dark" as it were due to a majority being infected / dead this bounds the infection rate.

We can estimate the first index case in that country, then work it from there to "lights out" - which will be applicable to countries in that economic strata.

Liberia and Sierra Leone have, together, approximately 10 million people.

While WHO can play games with numbers now, they won't be able to hide a country that goes dark. If 1% of Liberia is infected, lights out may be in just a few months. Or less.

Dakar, Senegal • Ebola represents a threat to all humanity and an outbreak of the virus in five West African countries will likely spread to more, American officials warned Wednesday.

"This is not an African disease. This is a virus that is a threat to all humanity," Gayle Smith, special assistant to President Barack Obama and senior director at the National Security Council, told reporters during a telephone briefing.

Assessing the International Spreading Risk Associated with the 2014 West African Ebola Outbreak


Assessing the International Spreading Risk Associated with the 2014 West African Ebola Outbreak


...Conclusions
We show by a modeling effort informed by data available on the 2014WA EVD outbreak that the risk of international spread of the Ebola virus is still moderate for most of the countries. The current analysis however shows that if the outbreak is not contained, the probability of international spread is going to increase consistently, especially if other countries are affected and are not able to contain the epidemic. It is important to stress that the presented modeling analysis has been motivated by the need for a rapid assessment of the EVD outbreak trends and contains assumptions and approximations unavoidable with the current lack of data from the region.

Nigeria's Ebola outbreak spreads
September 03, 2014

The World Health Organization (WHO) this afternoon issued its first detailed report of the spread of the virus in Port Harcourt, Nigeria’s oil hub. Last week, authorities announced that a doctor there had died of the disease, after secretly treating a diplomat who had been infected in Lagos by a traveler from Liberia.


(So a diplomat secretly caught Ebola, hmmmmmm)


The doctor had close contact with family, friends, and health care workers during his illness, but he did not disclose his previous exposure to the virus. His infection wasn’t confirmed until 5 days after his death. Experts are now following 200 of the doctor’s contacts, 60 of which had “high-risk or very high-risk exposure,” WHO says.


(He told no one he was exposed to Ebola)


The doctor who treated him became ill on 11 August. He continued treating patients at his private clinic for two days, operating on at least two of them.

The WHO report is grim: “During his 6 day period of hospitalization, he was attended by the majority of the hospital’s health care staff,” it says, and members of his church community visited and performed a healing ritual that apparently involved laying on of hands.

It was not until 27 August that tests confirmed he was infected with Ebola


(He exposed Ebola to most of the staff of the hospital, and actually operated on 2 people while infected, OMG!)

A sanity check of our R-O figures: infected countries have a known population. When they "go dark" as it were due to a majority being infected / dead this bounds the infection rate.

We can estimate the first index case in that country, then work it from there to "lights out" - which will be applicable to countries in that economic strata.

Liberia and Sierra Leone have, together, approximately 10 million people.

While WHO can play games with numbers now, they won't be able to hide a country that goes dark. If 1% of Liberia is infected, lights out may be in just a few months. Or less.

3 months Liberia will be no more.

The description of how it kills was chilling. My list of ways I'd prefer not to go out just had another way added to it.

My husband works in a hospital, if anything hits here I will post.

I am considered a first responder due to my occupation of water treatment operator. We just recently got classified this way. By recently I mean this year.

#BREAKING West Africa Ebola epidemic claims more than 1,900 lives, says WHO chief

so it went from 1550+ to over 1,900 what in 4 days.

This is nothing in terms of magnitude. We are in the vertical part of the curve, but still the bottom part of the curve.

It's game over in West Africa.


Just fckn EYEBALL these curves:
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

It projects to 9,000 cases with 6,350 dead by the beginning g of October - Just eyeballing it.

And that is the underreported count.


Fckn game over.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1839550


where you suggest October,

IS NOW.

game way the fukk over.

We should be seeing the first wave in America in the next week. People with last stage symptoms.

In another week to 3 we will see the second and third waves......in America.

You couldn't make a movie of this.

Nobody would go, nobody would believe TPTB could be so stupid. The story would be laughable.

Mid September the whole world will be terrified.

There will be major fights in Ukraine beginning,

First wave of Plague hits US,

American cities are hit HARD with ISIS Revenge.

The truth is the TPTB are stupid and foolish just like the

people they rule over eventual they succumb to there on

hubris, and start believing there own lies. this happens

time after time. Hard old lesson learned are forgotten

and we end up repeating the same mistakes are great

great grand parent made. plus the more and more complicated civilization gets the more likely the slightest change can upset the equilibrium. ie the black swan effect. We are also

now at a time in History that a great Empire is declining

and we are seeing the Chaos that ensues.

F$%k.

Certain fundamentals never changed: The petro-dollar as world currency; the non-government private "Federal" Reserve; QE propping stocks, the dollar, and holding off hyperinflation; Oil Reserves in the Mideast (specifically, Iran).

The whole Syrian effort (with the Sauds and CIA backing ISIS - yes, ISIS is f$%king backed by the CIA and it's always been a Sunni vs. Shite paragidm) to open the doorway to Iran stalled last year. But now Russia is busy with Ukraine.

It's this whole Ebola PANdemic, which reeks of man-made mutations making it more contagious, which I could never have imagined a few years ago.

F$%k, they are going for it.

Re: >>>EBOLA 2014-15 >> Latest News and Updates for MERS, Ebola and other spreading nasties<<<
The 2.57 ROI translates to what as far as a monthly multiplier? I understand monthly multiplier is a rough form-fit but my purpose here is to make a general model to predict events in the US. If the average infection is 12 days, then I would calculate the monthly multiplier as 13 with a ROI of 2.57 and 12 day cycle... or should it be a 21 day cycle? Your thoughts?
 Quoting: Cheyenne


A monthly multiplier would only track to a linear progression, but if you want a dangerously fast and dirt multiplier you could reduce it down by -

Let X(1) = #ACTIVE_CASES on DAY(1), which should be the most recent full count of cases in the geography.

Let Y(1) = 2.53 * X(1) = #INACTIVE_CASES on DAY(1),
which assumes that there are a "full queue" of incubating cases.

For each DAY,

move [Y(n)*1/8.8 of Y(n) into X(n) because I am looking at a mean incubation period of 8.8 days

With an ROI of 2.53~ across a contagious period of 11.8 days, in a 30 day month, you'll have (11.8/30) * 2.53 = 0.9951, as a daily multiplier for transmissions from active cases


Therefore,

Let Y(n) = Y(n-1) + 0.9951 * X(n) To instantiate new cases in incubation based upon the ROI

And remove the dead from X(n) at a rate of 0.3933 because the mean duration of symptoms is 11.8 days in a 30 day month and 11.8/30 = 0.3933

Let x(n) = X(n-1) - (.3933 * X(n-1))

So in short, and based upon an X-cycle of 11.8 days where a patient is symptomatic but not dead, and a transmission factor of 2.53, and you'll have a net gain estimator factor of 29.854 for any give 30 day period. Now, you'll notice that 30/29.854 is almost 1 (in fact, it is 1.00489)

This all boils down to this: if you have # of active cases on any give day, you can simply double it and have an anticipated number of active cases for the same day of the following month...


...and AGAIN, I have to say it: these calculations are for a specific geography. You can't try to condense numbers together from geographies which are unrelated in the real world.
 Quoting: BattlesightZero


Excellant work.
So, what's that mean going forward?
