This one concerns me:

The virus spreads from person to person, or from mammals to people. Fruit bats are believed to be the natural hosts of the Ebola virus.

Once it gets into other mammals here we will always have outbreaks.

For Obola-the-undocumented Indonesian pRes_ _ent,
that truly would be ‘mission accomplished’.

And there is not a WORD from the EXEMPT, yet.

For all we know, an Ebola cousin is endemic in our wildlife right now, and we have never discovered it because we do not eat bats and usually do not go near their caves.

A few years ago, a filovirus related to Ebola was found in bats in Spain. Ebola Reston has been found in the Phillipines (although the monkeys may have gotten sick from bats).
