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.

Forex Conspiracy Report
Read every word of this report!
http://www.forexconspiracyreport.com
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
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.
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.
It is absolutely possible that someone
could fly to Europe, the Americas or
Asia and spread the disease to
unsuspecting populations.
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.
The first potential economic
devastation of Ebola virus comes from
the risk of wider spread in the areas
where it currently exists.
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.
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.
Investing in the World of Ebola
What fundamental analysis will be
useful to help save your assets if
Ebola spreads beyond Africa?
Widespread shutdown of travel would
hurt the airlines, hotels, resorts and
vacation destinations.
The arrival of the disease in any major
city would put huge stress on health
care services and public health
services.
One can image martial law being
necessary with great damage to
national economies.
Dispersing your assets by trading
foreign stocks would be a way of
spreading the risk of potential
economic devastation of the Ebola
virus.
