Why is it on the brink of collapse?
It's one gigantic freaking bubble waiting to burst, it just needs a trigger. I always thought it would be a terrorist attack or something. Now I think we've found it in the form of a tiny virus we can't even see. Billionaires have all been bailing for months. The Fed just keeps on printing and artificially keeping this thing afloat. This is going to be extremely painful when it bursts.
As Ebola continues to spread exponentially, companies are going to get hurt. People will get more and more scared, they won't travel, they wont go out for dinner, wont go to malls, sporting events, or other crowded places. The markets will fall, there will be a run on the banks. It will be a domino effect. Business slows, layoffs, businesses close, looting, anarchy, zombies, etc...
FYI...the market dropped 400 after hearing about only patient #2. The WHO is predicting 1.4M infected in the next few months. I'm assuming in a few months the U.S. will have a lot more than two. Where are the docs and nurses to treat all these people? What happens as more and more doctors die?
I said it before, i just don't see how any third world country can survive this if it isn't contained soon. Africa is totally screwed in my opinion. They need to fully quarantine the effected areas. NO ONE COMES OUT! Give them anything they need. But stop letting anyone out. The world needs to get the cases to ZERO...ZERO for several months for this to be over. This is a potential Global killer. Some very tough decisions need to be made real fricking fast. Decisions that may seem cruel, but that are necessary so that billions don't die. Nations all have a tipping point, there's only so many patients they can handle...then that nation collapses.
