One prediction market prices this story:
- Zambia — the market puts it at 8%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if an official report confirms a human Ebola case in Zambia between now and January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked health deal for the resolution criteria, but only confirmed Ebola cases count.
