Hard call. This one seems to be more infectious, but also seems to respond well to antivirals.

I don't know... this statement seems to imply that it's not so easily transmitted:

"Investigators believe the virus spread from person to person through contact with infected body fluids."

Just recalling from other outbreaks, ie Angola Marburg, staying away from body fluids is very difficult in African health care. This is due to farming, medical practices and burial practices. Burial practices are almost unbreakable rituals in some areas.

Both Doctors without Borders and the WHO had extreme difficulties protecting their workers, and their patients, not to mention the political situation in many areas.

Chances are we’ll see more of this, but what we hear may not be what is happening.
