The difference here is that a “perfect storm” of unfortunate events have conspired to spread the virus. It had never been seen in that part of Africa before, so it was spreading for months before anyone figured out what it was. And during that time, it got into some fairly populated areas. There were a lot of cases by then, in countries that have inadequate health care systems and poor infrastructures due to the civil wars that went on for decades.

Yeah exDemMom...I did hear on one of the news channels that the folks in Nigeria handled it pretty well...but they apparently are more advanced medically and they didn't allow it to get a foothold.
