MY 2 BIGGEST FEARS ABOUT EBOLA

My 2 Biggest Fears About Ebola.
By James DiGeorgia, Editor, Global Resource Hunter.

The Ebola Crisis will start rocking world financial markets as rate of infection accelerates!

(Do you really understand the dangers to your financial security?)


The World Health Organization warns that Ebola is now "entrenched" in three West African capital cities … and spreading.

Five people are being infected with Ebola every hour in Africa, and the transmission rate continues to accelerate.

With the lack of hospitals and healthcare workers — coupled with a slow international response — the rate of infection could dramatically increase to 10, 20 or even 100 people an hour.

However, the numbers reported are hopelessly inaccurate. People with infected family members are not reporting many of the infections out of fear …

*Fear that the infections are being made worse in the region’s care centers
*Fear that families living with Ebola victims will be shunned or quarantined by their communities.
These fears and lack of healthcare options could lead to victims being cared for at home and, as a result, entire families are being infected with this deadly disease.

250K Victims by New Year’s Eve?

An estimated 22,000 people are infected at this point in time. By the time you finish reading this article, 500 to 750 people could become infected (assuming the infection rate doesn't accelerate).

Currently, WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not mathematically discussing how the increasing number of infections could multiply the speed with which Ebola spreads throughout Africa and the world.

It's entirely possible that, by New Year’s Eve, 250,000 people will come into direct contact with this disease that kills 9 out of 10 of those infected.

Reports of individual infections in Spain and the U.S. have people outside of Africa very concerned.
Western governments are assuring their citizens that Ebola does not present a serious risk in countries that have plentiful and competent medical infrastructures.

Ebola: From an Outbreak to an Epidemic

The Ebola outbreak was confirmed in Guinea about seven months ago. Now that it is an epidemic, some experts wonder whether it could have been stopped at its source.

The problem of course is that most of Africa lacks abundant and sophisticated medical resources. At the current infection rate, we would have to send 40,000 health workers, along with tens of thousands of fully equipped support personnel, capable of setting up quarantine-ready field hospitals.

And now, with Ebola showing up outside of Africa in the U.S. and Spain so far, the international community is pledging to unite and provide the needed resources.

After all, a lack of action in the world community would open the risk of Ebola spreading through the African continent — from the poorest populations in Egypt, Sudan and Yemen to India, Indochina and beyond.

At current rates, by the end of summer 2015, the numbers infected could very well reach 25 million people. Though the numbers of those infected in the U.S. and Europe will likely still very small, the effect on the world financial markets will have increased exponentially.

If the international community doesn’t make the needed effort to stop the spread of the disease, a genuine panic will ensue. Borders will shut down, air travel will be restricted and xenophobia will affect the world economy.

Economic growth will slow down and bring with it wild swings in the equities, commodities and bond markets. And that's not all …

My 2 Biggest Fears About Ebola

I have two fears when looking at this crisis …

1. Ebola infections reach India, Indochina, Cambodia, Laos and then China. Most people think of India and China as well — developed nations with plenty of medical care.

Unfortunately, this couldn’t be any further from the truth. The fact is there are hundreds of millions of extremely poor people throughout the Arab, Indian, Indochinese and Chinese regions.

If radical efforts are not taken to stop the rate of infection, the New York Times headlines on New Year’s Eve 2015 could read:

"An Estimated 100 Million Infected
Going into New Year!"

"20 Million Dead,
Governments Collapse!"

"Vast regions of Africa & Asia Quarantined"

"Martial law invoked in
New Delhi as riots breakout"

"Bodies going unburied --
Typhoid Threat Grows"

Here's my other big fear …

2. Terrorists weaponize Ebola: I'm talking about aerosol cans or Ebola dirty bombs.

The truth is there are potentially hundreds of hardcore Jihadists who would gladly give their lives to wreak havoc for Europe, the U.S. and their allies. In this day and age, with everything we know about terrorists, no honest politician or health official will argue that suicide terrorists exist in potentially great numbers.

The very fact that the incubation period can take as long as 20 days, places the risk of Ebola-suicide Jihadists near the top of its concern list for the international community.

A Nightmare of 19 Terrorists

The President is going to have to commit at least 75,000 to 150,000 troops in potentially eliminating the threat of the Islamic State and the other radical Sunni Islamists.

On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists attacked our country.

Now just imagine …

What if 19 more Jihadists decided to unleash Ebola in just three of our most densely populated cities?

Suppose, in New York, Chicago and Boston, the 19 al-Qaeda Jihadists terrorists, now divided in three groups, are met by five additional suicide terrorists.

At that point, in New York, there are 11 infected terrorists coordinating efforts to infect that city's population during its two daily rush hours. They plan to achieve this in the most densely populated areas of New York:

Grand Central Station, Penn Station and Port Authority.

Who pays for the war? Who pays for the long-term occupation?

Terrorists take action becoming infection risks and begin handing out $5 bills or packs of cigarettes as a disguised advertising campaign …

In the process, they touch as many people as possible with unwashed hands, arms, even elbows if possible …

In the evenings, they distribute dinner boxes to hundreds of street people at night, making as much contact with those receiving food as possible …

Proper timing and the proper catalyst will turn public opinion so that Obama can initiate the necessary amount of American troops.

This all goes on for several days, until the terrorists cannot disguise their symptoms …

Then, before committing suicide, they stage one last contact attack in densely populated areas of the city. Their suicide tapes hit the Internet and the U.S., British and French watch as we all discover that terrorists have infected 15,000+ of our family and friends …

For those of us who would be fortunate enough to be out of the immediate area of infection, we would also watch the Dow Jones drop 5,000 points in three raucous days before the exchanges are closed and calm can be restored …

All of this may sound farfetched, but the danger builds each day that we don't take massive steps to contain this Ebola epidemic.

And that may be reason enough to perpetuate the lie.
