Party line is that vaccine let alone treatment would be at least a year to 18 months away by which time the disease may no longer be the threat du jour (because most humans will have been infected and lived or died by then).
This is quite smart by Gates. For Ebola, researchers had discovered that a tapeworm medication appeared to inhibit the disease but the juggernaut and all funding was focused on vaccine. This time - if Flemish academics can find an inhibitor in as little as a week or two as postulated, it won't be possible for the juggernaut to roll through that especially with Gates involved.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
