The Economics of Ebola Drugs
By James Surowiecki
August 25, 2014
The deadly hemorrhagic fever Ebola was first discovered in 1976, and it has haunted the public imagination for twenty years, ever since the publication of Richard Preston’s “The Hot Zone.” Yet, in all that time, no drug has ever been approved to treat the disease. Now the deadliest outbreak yet is raging in West Africa, and there are no real tools to stop it. (Supplies of the experimental drug administered to two American patients have already run out.) The lack of an Ebola treatment is disturbing. But, given the way drug development is funded, it’s also predictable…

Amid heated debate, the Ebola virus came to the United States on Saturday, August 2, 2014, aboard a Gulfstream jet chartered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus was carried in the bloodstream of Doctor Kent Brantly, who travelled within an Aeromedical Biological Containment System—a hermetically sealed, transparent plastic tent that isolated the patient from the flight crew…
…Medical quarantine has its own architecture: levels of separation and isolation, nests inside of nests. The structure’s first level, according to Jonathan Richmond, a biosecurity consultant who spent thirty-five years at the C.D.C., consists of “not much of anything at all, except simple behavioral guidelines like, ‘Don’t stick things in your mouth.’ ” Biosafety levels three and four are typically reserved for airborne diseases. Ones that only spread through contact, like the Ebola virus, normally call for level-two containment. But because Ebola has no proven vaccine or cure, Brantly, who was transported to Emory Hospital in Atlanta, has been under level-four containment—a protocol that requires what Richmond calls “extraordinary engineering controls.”…
