One prediction market prices this story:
- Zambia — the market puts it at 8%, with $223 traded in the last 24 hours, 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.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
