Ebola clinic looted

Unfortunately, crime is one part self-stupidity, one part culture.Looting seem to be a favorite activity for certain ethnic group as of late.
People assume that the poorer someone/some country is, the more crime is assumed to happen as people are in survival mode. However, there's lots of countries in the world with poor/low income/low standards of living but the society lives happily and doesn't resort to crime.
I'm no social major or anthropologist, but for anyone out there feel free to chime in.
It is going to be hard to contain which means it is likely to rip through the population. People will then begin fleeing the region in a panic, I doubt rust a government that cannot keep looters out of a clinic can keep them in the area either.
So it could spread like mad to all the surrounding regions and at some point it will be infecting people who can afford to fly.
I think the way to contain it is stop all non military traffic in and out of those countries.

By no means do I imply racism. You can find individual criminals, scientists, singers, athletes in every race. However, certain races do exhibit "group behavior" distinct from other races. I theorize it's mostly cultural. Japanese and Germans tend to be docile, obedient and hard working - good characteristics when lead by benign government, but dangerous one if lead by crazy authoritarians. African descendants are on a total opposite end of spectrum, they value individuality, freedom over obedience. So much so that, a large number of them see "laws are for suckers", and crimes to be an acceptable way for personal gains (as long as you don't get caught). This is why America even as a wealthy nation has much higher crime rate than China - a relatively poor nation.
