It’s killed only about 500 people around the world (but who can really know the toll in Africa), but has a death rate of about 25%. > Too lethal. The person dies before he spreads the virus.
Actually according to Wikipedia the fatality rate is much higher, around 62%. Which is probably why it is self-limiting as MR points out.

I used the death rate in modern countries. I’m sure the death rate for all infectious diseases is much higher in places like Equatorial Africa.
