If the Ebola virus is such a potential major epidemic that is spreading, then why not eradicate the central source?

I know this sounds like a SciFi plotline, but the virus is not curable and is spreading so alternatives should be on the table.

Use tactical nukes set for detonation at about 1000 ft. above ground and let the radiation wipe out the virus and all of those in the areas of Africa who are infected.

I expect I’ll be slammed here for even suggesting that, but what other solutions are there for a potential world wide epidemic?

Destroying the Ebola habitat won’t stop the problem. The virus is not the issue. The fall of man is the issue. Watch for other disease outbreaks.
