Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen donated $100m to facilitate research on Ebola remedies, a feat that made him the single biggest donor to the Ebola outbreak.
Meanwhile, someone else has managed to make money out of the crises.
In August 2, Ebola made its first visit on the American soil when Dr. Kent Brantly landed in the United State, at Dobbins Air Reserve Base around 11.am.
I really love this idea, I have always thought about it and I'm wondering why it took them so long to think about it.
Again, it was simply because Africa alone, had the Ebola crisis..
Great now the only people getting ebola will be the techs that have to work on all these infested robots slathered in disease
Robotics scientists nationwide are pondering an intriguing possibility: Might robotic technologies deployed in rescue and disaster situations be quickly repurposed to help contain the Ebola epidemic?
Technology's roles in fighting the Ebola epidemic is more profound that one may imagine. Of course, there is a dark side to its effectiveness too.
aha so whenever there is a crisis like this, we should register its name as a domain ;)
Damn, I missed my chance to pay my house off. I have got to be smarter next time. Should have bought some apple stock in 99 lol.
It's so hard to find out what idiots will buy into before they start buying into it.
If I'm not mistaken he actually originally wanted 400k, plus he is a person that does this for a living. He buys domains just to hold and sell later.
Thus he also got birdflu.com etc...
Before you guys talk about 'would've' 'should've' 'could've'. He paid ~$13.5k for Ebola.com in 2008.
No one would do that.
