Truthfully, until Ebola gets into the 100,000 fatalities a day league, it is small potatoes. About the only contender in mortality like that is a “killer” influenza.
Still, it is good to that if 1 million people a day died, it would be about 2 years and 9 months to kill a billion people, and there are an estimated 7 billion on Earth.

About the only contender in mortality like that is a “killer” influenza.At the current rate of transmission that will be in May, next year. That makes it a big deal now. At least for anyone with an ounce of sense.

However, economic disruption, the potential for supply chains to break down is enormous, considering the survival rate for the flu is so high as to be not considered by most to be a severe threat.
When the odds of living through a disease become 50/50, fear of contracting it will be more of a controlling issue than the disease.
In that instance, shortages or loss of vital services may cause more deaths and damage than the disease.

So you’ve given yourself about 9 months to prepare.

Still, it is good to that if 1 million people a day died, it would be about 2 years and 9 months to kill a billion people, and there are an estimated 7 billion on Earth. Faulty math. At the current rate of increase in infections and deaths, modeled over the past nine months, the projection is for more than two billion people to die by September 2015.
Of course, the rate of increase could accelerate, decelerate, or stop completely. But right now, that's what the numbers project.
