Potential Economic Devastation of the Ebola Virus
There is a virus on the loose in Africa that has a ninety percent mortality for anyone who contacts it. This is the Ebola virus. The virus which was previously confined to East Africa has now broken out in West Africa and spread into the most populous nation on the continent, Nigeria. This outbreak is the worst recorded and has health officials worried. We believe that investors should also be concerned about the potential economic devastation of the Ebola virus. How do you protect and invest your money if the world descends into an Ebola Virus chaos?
What Is Ebola?
Ebola virus disease is also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The disease is believed to be initially contacted from infected animals such as pigs, monkeys or fruit bats. Once a person contacts the disease he or she may have symptoms in a couple of days or not for as long as three weeks. The initial symptoms of fever, sore throat, headache and muscle pains are non-specific so a person may go to a doctor or even be admitted to a hospital not knowing the cause. When nausea, vomiting, liver and kidney failure and bleeding occur the disease is obvious. A problem of this disease is that when a person is ill he or she carries the virus in bodily fluids so diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding can easily spread the disease. And, because the disease by not be apparent for up to three weeks an infected person could travel internationally and spread the disease in a neighboring country or continent. The disease so far is confined to Africa but an infected person traveled by air from Liberia to Nigeria bringing the disease with. As many as nine out of ten people who get the Ebola virus die. There is no vaccine and care is only supportive as there is no antibiotic that kills the virus. Quarantine and extreme precautions against touching infected materials are essential to control of the spread of the disease. In the current outbreak over a thousand people have been infected and to date nearly seven hundred are dead.
Extreme Circumstances Require Extreme Measures
2. There is a virus on the loose in Africa
that has a ninety percent mortality for
anyone who contacts it.
3. This is the Ebola virus. The virus which
was previously confined to East Africa
has now broken out in West Africa
and spread into the most populous

6. We believe that investors should also
be concerned about the potential
economic devastation of the Ebola
virus.
7. How do you protect and invest your
money if the world descends into an
Ebola Virus chaos?
10. The disease is believed to be initially
contacted from infected animals such
as pigs, monkeys or fruit bats.
11. Once a person contacts the disease he
or she may have symptoms in a

12. The initial symptoms of fever, sore
throat, headache and muscle pains
are non-specific so a person may go

15. And, because the disease by not be

16. The disease so far is confined to Africa

17. There is no vaccine and care is only

extreme precautions against touching
infected materials are essential to
control of the spread of the disease.
18. In the current outbreak over a thousand
people have been infected and to
date nearly seven hundred are dead.
21. Because previous Ebola outbreaks
have been confined to East Africa and
easily contained health care workers
have basically treated those infected
until they recovered or died.
22. As we now see that a person with the
disease got outside of the
containment area there is a concern
that more people could flee the
epidemic area even though they might
already be infected.
23. It is absolutely possible that someone
could fly to Europe, the Americas or
Asia and spread the disease to
unsuspecting populations.
24. The most effective way to stop this
would be to shut down all
transportation or at least confine and
quarantine travelers until they can be
proven not to be infected.
25. The first potential economic
devastation of Ebola virus comes from
the risk of wider spread in the areas
where it currently exists.
26. But if the virus leaves Africa it could
become the case that it would require
an international shutdown of air traffic,
quarantine of boat crews and
passengers and heavy security at
border crossings.
27. The most extreme case and potential
economic devastation and human
tragedy of Ebola virus would be if it
were to spread to areas of warfare
where public health measures are
virtually impossible to enforce.
