Ah, I see.

This is the bad joke:

Paddy shows the blonde Essex girl the L & R on his wellies and explains that it stands for left & right , she replies "Now I understand the C & A label on my knickers" .

Context is always helpful "There have been 7,178 confirmed cases, with Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea suffering the most" vs the World population at 7bn.

TX.

Agreed yeah... but it's the 5 a month now per hour point ( which will soon become 100's per hour ) and if and when it spreads further ( who knows ). If you read the link it's prob far more than 5 per hour as they can't monitor or control the spread.

The plain generic annual Flu season will kill many more in the West than will Ebola this year.

The third world is on a high street in London if you want to see what it really looks like.

C&A went bust years ago.

C&A didn't go bust the management just realised as it owned most of its stores it was worth more closed and broken up....

So that's what they did.

USA ( kids )

2003-04 flu season - 152 pediatric flu deaths
2004-05 flu season - 39 pediatric flu deaths
2005-06 flu season - 41 pediatric flu deaths
2006-07 flu season - 68 pediatric flu deaths
2007-08 flu season - 88 pediatric flu deaths
2008-09 flu season - 133 pediatric flu deaths
2009-10 flu season - 282 pediatric flu deaths
(swine flu pandemic)
2010-11 flu season - 123 pediatric flu deaths
2011-12 flu season - 34 pediatric flu deaths
2012-13 flu season - 171 pediatric flu deaths
2013-14 flu season - 107 pediatric flu deaths

I reckon Ebola has killed far more kids already ( infected places ) , i've a feeling you a wrong sadly ( at the current speed of infection )

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive...

There were only between 600 and 750 influenza deaths recorded annually between 1995 and 1997.34 The most influenza deaths recorded in a single year since 1979 was about 2,900 deaths and that was in 2009, the H1N1 swine flu pandemic year

I said "in the West". BTW, you are wrong. 23,607(average) die from Influenza each year in the US alone.

Ebola? Influenza? Amateurs...

"(in 2012) the disease is estimated to have killed between 473,000 and 789,000 people, many of whom were children in Africa."

Let's hear it for...Malaria!!!

To be fair, your numbers were pediatric only (not sure why). There will be deaths here to Ebola I sadly predict; however, I stand by my prediction that regular flu will kill more.

[superkartracer]

And it costs a few pence to cure... yet we are happy dropping bombs costing a few hundred k each on some ISIS bonehead.

Gods work?

[irocfan]

yup - when it comes to deaths caused malaria is the daddy

Really interesting article, thanks

Eye-opening to read, "HIV is still here; in London alone, five gay men become infected daily."
Never knew the numbers were so high

F me, pardon the pun. That means in every year there must be 1800 gays in London. Maybe more, some might not even have Aids. Who'd have thought it...
