Ebola in Congo

[Marina Schwarz + 1,576]

There's an outbreak of ebola in Congo and it looks bad. Also, danger of civil war because of elections delays. All in all, good news for cobalt and copper bears. Incidentally, did you know the disease was named after a river in Congo?

Interesting factoid, I did not know ebola was named after a river in DRC.  It's a difficult situation in the region between resident tropical diseases and tribal unrest, the last thing they need is panic over ebola outbreaks like we saw in 2014.  I'm not worried but our thoughts and prayers to those in DRC.  If there is too much panic they might close down mines, government offices and businesses which would be bad for the economy.
