But the rate alone doesn’t matter. If you’re looking at what is most likely to kill you or your loved ones you (ie what is ACTUALLY endangering them, and what you should worry about) flu has got ebola beat hands down. The fact is you are probably going to get the flu multiple times in your life, you will almost certainly lose someone in your life to the flu (probably somebody with an already compromised immune system but it will happen). You will not catch ebola, no one you know will ever catch ebola, probably no one you know will ever know someone who caught ebola. This is what makes the flu by far the more dangerous.

At this point, you are absolutely correct. I think the only caveat here is that this strain of Ebola seems to be more transmissible than previous strains, so the ultimate infection rate may not be known. At this time, I am more concerned about D86 actually, got a few young kids....
