Re: He's possibly right about Ebola

Those numbers are completely disingenuous. Considerably more effort was expended to contain the Ebola outbreak than to contain any outbreaks of Flu for example. Were Ebola left to run unchecked the numbers would be very different.

Ebola has a mortality rate of 50-70%. Flu has a mortality rate of 0.1%.
