That is an issue, as well as the family’s sense that since you are out of the hospital, one is all better, so what is the problem with you now? Having and surviving a major, life-threatening illness tends to prompt changes in one’s thinking that can be hard to cope with.

Ebola has a 90% mortality rate. He is one of the 10% who made it.

“Ebola has a 90% mortality rate”

It depends on your point of view.

For those poorly treated or not treaded, yes 90%

As the care level increases so do survival rates.

EVD has a risk of death in those infected, between 25% and 90%. As of September 2014, the average risk of death among those infected is 50%. The highest risk of death was 90% in the 2002–2003 Republic of the Congo outbreak.
