I can't say I had a hard time predicting the exponential growth of paranoia the moment I heard in the news about Ebola. Bird flue anyone ? Afterall Ebola was very popular as a disease even before this "outbreak". Maybe we should worry about Ebola but then first we will need to handle over a billion things that are out to get us even before Eboal and are as deadly and way more efficient.
I can even see a vaccine been created and sold to billions of people worldwide. Afterall this is how this rolls usually.
Just saying.

I'd add that an exponential is hard to see for most people. What looks small may indeed grow fast.

We are far from finished with Ebola outbreak.
I appreciate what you guys are doing but your efforts would be far more valuable with real threats like heart decease and cancer.
Yes, but we are working on epidemic modelling, so we are not concerned with issues like cancer and heart attack.
