1. We have better hospitals
2. We have better medicine
3. We take the disease seriously - some Africans don't even believe it exists

but at this time, our sample size is too small.
You can't make a determination off of 2-3 cases.

Give me a break, Russian. No need to enter this thread as a penis gobbler. It was an arbitrary example and you know it.
Although I don't know for sure, I think you are generally correct. If they don't have any data about the mortality rate in different settings and/or populations, they probably have to infer that the mortality rate is consistent with the data they do have then adjust it when addition data is available.

So you think 2 or 3 cases in the U.S. is a valid sample number to base your thread's statistics upon?
Yes, they do.
And they ignore the Ebola cases in Europe that received the same care as the ones in the US but died.

We have the means to keep people alive here. I'd imagine that if it became an epidemic the mortality rate would increase.
We also have the means to keep people quarantined and isolated so the is a MUCH lower chance of it becoming an epidemic here.
