You didn’t click to the part that says it can stay in a body for 20 days before there are signs so the infected person can spread it to others for 20 days. That is not quickly killing as you said. Once it breaks out in the carrier, then it kills that one quickly.
Find the movie, “Contagion” on Utube and watch it.
Ebola has a 21 day incubation period, yes you die quickly once the symptoms appear, but for 21 days prior you are infected and potentially infecting others.
Yeah that was true when the outbreaks were in poor rural areas that were isolated. Get it loose in a major urban center with a mobile population, and things will look very different.
Then why is it still around? (serious question)
