It could be fake, but the media would go batshit crazy, whoever is X president would do something wrong (according to the opposing party) Congress will go on permanent vacation, the public will be in utter chaos. maybe like the movies? maybe not

It's a question of panic versus vaporization. The Ebola would scare people. The nuke would kill Seoul and touch off a regional, almost certainly nuclear war.
Nuclear wars are more chaotic over the long term.

The ebola chaos would likely be short lived. The nuke chaos would last years, or decades. The world lives with the reassurance that nukes have only been used twice. Bringing in that fear to the globe again would cause deep, lasting chaos.

Scientifically speaking, it would be difficult to just "spray" Ebola. It's a virus that needs a host. It can't just be liquified and sprayed. I don't think they'd have the tech to create a way for it to replicate and live enough to do that to us.

We all know when North Korea finally does drop a nuke in South Korea it's gonna land with a "dink" and fall apart.

Look at how people are overreacting to a case or two of Ebola in the US. The nuke would objectively be a bigger deal, but I think the Ebola scare would cause more chaos.

The latter could cause a war between China and the United States. I'm pretty sure that that would be a massive deal.

Treatment between reservoir and tap may save people, but the animals will pick it up. Now remember that the initial transmission into humans was via "jungle meat": people eating the equivalent of African road kill.

Ebola, because Americans have shown they can't handle their shit when it comes to even a whisper about ebola.
Nuking Korea would obviously be a MUCH bigger deal though.

We're close to curing Ebola so that would be easily dealt with. A nuke on South Korea will trigger a nuclear response from the United States. Then possibly retaliation from China. The power grid will fall apart.

I don't think Ebola can be spread through the air. A nuke could easily escalate into global war with possibly more nukes to come & potentially millions of deaths. Nuke

Ebola in major airports is a global threat. A nuke dropped in one country is easy to recover from. Japan was nuked twice and they have one of the top five economies.

Ebola is not an airborne virus. For the spray to work at all you would need to get sprayed right in the mouth, eyes, nose, or open wound, or would need to lick it up before it dried. It just isn't a thing. The nuke would be a problem though.

Ebola. Although any pathogen will take longer to kill, the effects will be much greater than a nuke.
But why? Because you can't spread radiation from one person to another.
In addition, if ISIS and NK did that I believe that every ally...

Ebola can and will be treated if signs of a REAL serious outbreak occur. The global political and economic ramifications of a nuclear weapon are not so easily dealt with

Ebola, but that depends on response/detection time if it could become an epidemic. If N. Korea drops a nuke, we know the response would be swift. They are history.

China would take down N Korea and annex it. That's the real force holding N Korea back from attacking SK right now. China doesn't want us in its back yard.
Global Ebola would be the bigger problem.

And through it all Obama would b caught by surprise, unclear on what to do, play golf, go fundraise, blame it on bush, give a bunch of govt $ to his buddies, appoint a czar that is his former friend, have a party at White House, hang out with jay z

I'm goin' with "Nuke". If ISIS spread Ebola around the U.S., the only real chaos is gonna be the American reaction. The prevailing opinion of the global community, and unfortunately even some Americans, will be that we're 'getting what we deserve'.

you mean north Korea's firecracker nukes? jk the only reason I chose it is because it would start a world war with millions of casualties all over the world
