Hmmmmm... I just saw World War Z. Lots of biting going on to infect other people. The movie is geared to the 12 year old mind but still gave me something to think about

Well, haven't we heard of people with AIDS, deliberately trying to infect others? Maybe this is the same thing.

“especially when they totally owned the city of Philadelphia in a few minutes”

Well, Philly teeters on the edge of disaster any given day.

“Well, haven’t we heard of people with AIDS, deliberately trying to infect others? Maybe this is the same thing.”

Ebola causes fever and hallucinations, violent behavior, etc.

I would not be surprised to see it affect people like rabies affects dogs.

..."Bizarre"....

Not really...I've seen photos of people they highly suspect are infected who kick and scream as the medical teams have to literally drag them to the clinics.

This infected guy ran away from the clinic until they caught him.

Seventeen 'people' escaped this clinic because too many believe the clinics are a place where you die...though they also caught them later on

What if?: "..authorities say one or more of the 3,000 U.S. servicemen who was bitten by an Ebola patient while working in West Africa has been flown back home to ensure spread of the deadly virus among fellow troops.."

When it comes to Ebola, that assessment might be fairly accurate.
