Ebola is extremely rare and has always been confined to the jungle in the past, so the market is actually very limited.
However, the DoD has $140M invested in a cure:
Tekmira may be a stock to keep an eye as this epidemic starts heating up

Yeah… Pitt isn’t thinking in that context. Plus I’ve read the link you posted earlier.

Welcome. You’ll figure it out soon enough.
If this turns out to be true it seems like folly to invite the fox into the hen house.

Like AC said, you can’t try and use the same logic and reason you use in your day-to-day life and apply it to a situation where shit is hitting the fan.
In a “regular” situation, you are 100% correct and my post is batshit crazy. In a SHTF scenario (think movies like Outbreak or Contagion) your post is batshit and I sound like a responsible citizen.
If you expect the worst, things will likely turn out better than expected and you’ll be okay. If you expect rational, you’ll be totally FUBAR when faced with irrational. [/quote]
I get what you’re saying.
But I personally think societal breakdown as a result of a natural disaster/w.e. will cause different reactions in people as opposed to societal breakdown as a result of an infectious disease THAT FUCKING LIQUEFIES YOUR INSIDES ( =D ).

Na.
As long as you know that someone is actually sick and take proper quarantine procedures, it’s probably not a big deal.
The big deal is when an infected individual goes unnoticed for some time.

1779 cases as of august 6: http://www.afro.who.int/en/clusters-a-programmes/dpc/epidemic-a-pandemic-alert-and-response/outbreak-news/4241-ebola-virus-disease-west-africa-8-august-2014.html
There was a suspected Ebola victim in saudi arabia. Most western news sources keep referring to it as a “suspected” case, however in this article it spoken about as if it were a confirmed case: 2nd Ebola case denied | Arab News
I wonder if the ministry of health is trying to sweep this under the rug the way they did with MERS

Oh come on now Jewbacca. You’re one of the most intelligent posters on here, I refuse to believe that you’re posting this seriously. You of all people know the importance of having good sources rather than apocalyptic fringe job websites to post your information from.
Besides which, if there were actuallly 3000 ebola martyrs here, they wouldn’t be able to quarantine them at all. 3000 patient zeros spread out infecting people deliberately? Yeah, that’s not getting swept under the rug.
I certainly believe it’s the type of thing ISIS/IS/ISIL would do though.

Sure, not my favorite source, nor do I believe the hype. More of a comment to the effect of “clearly they are thinking about this.”
The Russian report, referenced, however, is real, for what it is worth.

It starts:
“There are concerns that the raid could fuel the spread of Ebola in a slum where at least 50,000 people live. Police said the looters stole bloody sheets and mattresses, which could carry the infection”

Yeah, I saw that earlier today and linked it on my social media. Don’t know who did it, but I suspect nutjob locals more than AQ or IS jihadists. Regardless, this thing just blew up big time.
With new cases in all 4 countries, the total case count is now 2,240:
The escaped patients in Liberia have been found:
Ebola health workers and journalists have their throats slit and are bashed to death:
