100,000,000 births this year and 40,000,000 deaths year

With Ebola those 40m deaths will escalate fast. Just wait a year or two.

Ebola has actually killed very few people. It is that it kills ~50% of the people who are affected is what is scaring the world.

I don't think ebola will cause death rates to increase very much. It has been centuries since disease has caused the death rate to significantly increase (the black plague I believe) but medical technology has increased greatly since then

i am sure medical technology increased a lot, but not about Ebola. there is no hmm, i dont know the English word. thing that you get injected soon after you get born, for many diseases we have and then prevent you to ever get sick of that disease. And there is no cure, for after you already got Ebola.

And it spreads fast, so is win/win situation for Ebola.
