Reminiscent of the Goiana Incident.

Ebola has been a third world scourge because it requires body fluid contact, and the people can't seem to avoid vectoring behaviors.

Wow, all that damage from a 93 gram capsule. A glowing blue substance with no obvious power source was just too fascinating to those uneducated people. Same thing happened with thieves who stole a truck with a radiotherapy machine in Mexico a few months ago, then opened it up. The thieves were never found but are assumed dead.
West Point residents went on a "looting spree," stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official. The residents took medical equipment and mattresses and sheets that had bloodstains, he said.
"All between the houses you could see people fleeing with items looted from the patients," the official said, adding that he now feared "the whole of West Point will be infected."
Some of the looted items were visibly stained with blood, vomit and excrement, said Richard Kieh, who lives in the area.
