Survivability of the cities using the following criteria: highest walk score, lowest hardware store density, highest hospital density, and most congestion.
“Residents of Honolulu will make easy targets for the walking dead, what with the city’s high walkability and lack of hardware stores (where there are potential zombie-killing weapons). Honolulu also has a high hospital density, making it easy for zombies to find weak victims, and it is extremely congested, with some of the worst traffic in the nation.
New York is number two on the list, followed by Newark, Boston, and Washington D.C.”
Ebola in NYC

“There’s a difference between being concerned and being outright panicked about a disease that’s largely under control.”
“One reason this Ebola outbreak has been so bad is because the virus somehow went from remote African villages into unprepared urban environments, where it was able to quickly spread in close quarters.”
“Ten days after the last diagnosis, there have been no new Ebola cases in Dallas; a growing number of the city’s residents are out of quarantine; and it seems like a broader Ebola outbreak has been averted.”
“But when someone’s suffering from Ebola, the virus doesn’t spread easily until the disease has progressed…It’s the fundamental paradox behind Ebola: While it’s an incredibly powerful virus, it’s also hard to catch.”
“Of the nine U.S. Ebola patients so far, all had close contact with people suffering from the Ebola virus. And disproportionately, they had that contact because they were serving as caregivers.”
The Market
Courtesy of Kwaisi France:
“Economic fundamentals indicate no bare market to be seen. Though it is being reduced, there is no tightening of liquidity from any central bank, and corporate earnings are still strong.”
“Jobless claims is one of the most important and least watched statistics. It is a leading economic indicator and this past week it hit a 14 year low. This data makes it impossible to be bearish.”
