Ebola - disturbing conversation

Had a very troubling chat with a 1st class pax on board this week @ L1.

He was a SNR VP with a Global Bank & he said they were having frenzied crisis meetings dealing with what they see will materialize in the next six months.

Points below essentially what they are preparing for should worst case scenario develop.

- it's unstoppable due complete lack of ability to handle proliferation in West Africa.

- Only a matter of time before it gets to Saudi due pilgrims.

- once in Saudi , it will go to all GCC labor camps & eventually it will go East - the nightmare scenario

- India, Bangla, Pak. Teaming cities, no hygiene close quarters etc

- Dubai & GCC tourism collapses, along with property market & a run on the bank

- Emirates (ME4) decimated

- civil unrest, 2 years to fix, 10m die.

Don't shoot the messenger, that's what he was preparing for and he was very serious.

Not cool.
