[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's too late to contain it worldwide[/b]. The question is how quickly will it spread and how many will die. The only real hope is development of an effective vaccine -- which may be a long way off -- or of a drug that tempers the virus, as ZMAPP appears to do. But it's going to be a long time before ZMAPP can be produced in sufficient quantities to catch up to the spread of Ebola. On the other hand, it should be clear now that there will be money to be made in coming up with effective Ebola treatments, and the lure of a big payday has a way of motivating vaccine and drug development.

It is uncontained in Sierra Leone and Liberia.  It's not uncontained worldwide.

If Uganda can contain Marburg, I think Texas and Spain can handle one case of Ebola.

As for money to be made with effective Ebola treatments, I don't know why you think that.  Because the US is sending troops and medical supplies to Sierra Leone and Liberia, suddenly there's lots of money in West Africa?  They're still pretty poor there.[/quote]
