Is there any way they could drop Ebola on ISIS?

There are ways I would imagine, but no way to just target ISIS and not hit the civilians. In China during WW2 the Japanese dropped clay balls containing black plague carrying fleas from planes and caused an outbreak.

Boko Haram is closer to the outbreak than ISIS. I guess we can always hope they end up in the middle of it.

Report: Armed men attack Liberia Ebola clinic, freeing patients
#### is about to get worse in Liberia.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-a...eing-patients/
Quote:
MONROVIA, Liberia - Liberian officials fear Ebola could soon spread through the capital's largest slum after residents raided a quarantine center for suspected patients and took items including bloody sheets and mattresses.
The violence in the West Point slum occurred late Saturday and was led by residents angry that patients were brought to the holding center from other parts of Monrovia, Tolbert Nyenswah, assistant health minister, said Sunday.
Local witnesses told Agence France Presse that there were armed men among the group that attacked the clinic.
"They broke down the doors and looted the place. The patients all fled," said Rebecca Wesseh, who witnessed the attack and whose report was confirmed by residents and the head of Health Workers Association of Liberian, George Williams.

Superstion and a lack of education makes this a poor place for an outbreak

These doctors are now medical cleared and test negative. They have left the hospital now and are 100%. Ebola is does not mean certain death. The country's where it flourish are not properly educated. Some tribes believe that the doctors bring this disease so the refuse to be treated by outsiders.

Man Ebola is crazy as crap with it's long gestation periods and now potentially airborne mutations. Today a top German virologist is saying that the situation in Sierra Leone and Liberia can no longer be contained and it will "burn itself out" meaning potentially infect half the population there. He also advocates a policy of containment before it spreads too much to over countries. I guess this isn't too surprising given all the stories of people breaking quarantine, rioters attacking treatment centers, eating dead bats, actively refusing treatment and/or running away from hospitals.
Quote:
"Liberia is Lost." His statement might alarm many people.
But Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit of the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine in Hamburg told DW that he and his colleagues are losing hope for Sierra Leone and Liberia, two of the countries worst hit by the recent Ebola epidemic.
"The right time to get this epidemic under control in these countries has been missed," he said. That time was May and June. "Now it is too late."
Schmidt-Chanasit expects the virus will "burn itself out" in this part of the world.
With other words: It will more or less infect everybody and half of the population - in total about five million people - could die.
