Ebola patients on the other hand don’t vomit and drop dead.

Remember the mid-90s non-fiction book "The Hot Zone", by Richard Preston? The first chapter describes the death of a French man living in Kenya who contracted Marburg virus, another deadly hemorrhagic fever virus very closely related to the Ebola virus. The man dropped dead after vomiting a prodigious amount of blood in a crowded Nairobi hospital waiting room - after flying to Nairobi on a crowded flight.

Presumably the gentleman who passed away in the current incident did not vomit blood.

That is the odd thing about this outbreak- not much talk about bleeding from orifices like in past outbreaks.
