Resolves based on the consensus/best estimate of (suspected) deaths from the current Bundibugyo virus outbreak at the end of the epidemic, probably using numbers released by the WHO or on the Wikipedia page, unless there's good reason to believe that they have stopped updating these numbers reliably (this is probably unlikely).

If the epidemic expands into a pandemic or continues into 2027, the market will be extended as necessary.

The "Other" category means any deaths total larger than the current buckets. I may add more higher buckets from the "Other" category as necessary (if you're new to Manifold, don't worry, if you bet on Other, your shares will automatically be transferred onto any new buckets split off, this is fine and normal).

I will not bet in this market, so as to remain objective if there is gray area in determining the most accurate deaths number.

@bens why is this so low?

@snazzlePop probably because this is what the distribution of cases by date looks like, lol:

bought Ṁ3 YES

current number of deaths on wikipedia is pulled out of a strange place and may not resemble reality

@paleink it looks like they fixed whatever happened?

Added more buckets, let's get a good estimate here!

Probably time to re-up this market, given the circumstances

Vaccine development time. 🧪
