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.
