Oddly it kills so many so fast it supposedly limits the spread

As the virus is now, that's true. The danger is when it spreads to crowded places with sickly populations or bad environmental conditions.

The other thing that's odd is that a less virulant Ebola would be more dangerous to the global population. It would spread to more people before the host died.

I read that hypothesis in a book OUTBREAK (?) quite a few years back.

The Hot Zone? It spawned the movie Outbreak and the series The Burning Zone.
