Ebola spreadability peaked with the 2014 outbreak

As I recall, didn't that outbreak create a spike in gold prices? Might be worth investigating that and who the biggest profiteers were.

Also, one of the fishiest things about that whole bruhaha was when the NBC cameraman (an employee for one day! redshirt?!) contracted Ebola, the whole news crew was quarantined, and then the chief medical correspondent, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, violated the quarantine by going to a restaurant as if it didn't matter she might be incubating the world's most horrific disease. Remember this?

"Several Planet Princeton readers have reported seeing NBC News Chief Medical Editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman in public over the past day.

Snyderman allegedly was seen sitting in her car outside of the Peasant Grill in Hopewell Boro this afternoon. A reader reported that a man who was with her got out of the car and went inside the restaurant to pick up a take-out order. Another man was in the back seat of her black Mercedes. Snyderman had sunglasses on and had her hair pulled back, the reader said.

NBC did not respond to inquiries about Snyderman today, and Snyderman could not be reached for comment.

Snyderman has been NBC’s chief medical correspondent since 2006. She joined the network after 15 years as a correspondent with ABC. She also previously served as a vice president at Johnson & Johnson."

New Jersey then slapped the whole team under mandatory quarantine, and NBC and Snyderman were forced to apologize.

Her "apology" said, "As a health professional I know that we have no symptoms and pose no risk to the public."

The big red flag to me as a microbiologist is that ebola is a supposed “zoonostic parasite” yet there was never a true positive ID of the resevoir species after 30+ years.

Compare with Hanta where the CDC had that thing figured out within a few weeks.
