Alot of these diseases that are really, really deadly are hard to become epidemics, because they kill the person so quick, it doesn't have a good chance to transmit. Ebola is like that. But from what I'm hearing, this stuff can kill you in 48 hours, even quicker than Ebola.

*IF* the stuff becomes humanogenic.
*IF* we don't figure out how to stop it first.
*IF* it remains as deadly as it is during the necessary mutation.
Seems to me like the media is looking for a little ad revenue.
