Ebola is not a very sturdy disease.
SARS has already proven that it can travel on long international flights; that's how it appeared in Toronto. It is highly contagious.
Onve it spreads to hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands die, it may be too late to prevent a general worldwide outbreak.

Another thing to look at: there appears to be about a 30:1 survival rate. That is to say, for every 30 people that have gotten the disease (based on the above numbers), 1 person will die. Think about an outbreak at a local school.
