Why now

A U.S. citizen employed by a humanitarian organization has tested positive for Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to reports from NBC News, CNN, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This case has drawn international attention to the country's ongoing public health challenges and the risks faced by foreign workers providing humanitarian assistance. The DRC has experienced multiple Ebola outbreaks in recent years, making disease surveillance and response capacity critical concerns for the region.

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
