I think the problem with Ebola is that it could mutate into a more dangerous form that is not so quick to burn out.
There are several limiting factors about ebola that make it an unlikely candidate for a serious epidemic.
The first is that it is blood borne, not pulmonary, spread by coughing and sneezing. Proper hygiene severely limits contact contamination.
Second is that ebola only mutates about 100 times slower than influenza, so the different current strains diverged perhaps a thousand years ago.
Third is that the entryway into humans is now though to be from eating undercooked bats. So don’t do this. Guinea quickly put out the warning to people to stop eating them, as well as rats.
