Thanks for the summary, I didn't want to go to the link.
Influenza is quite alarming--it only takes a few mutations for H5N1 or H7N9 to infect the upper respiratory system where they will become airborne. MERS, at the moment, seems not very contagious, but it is very much like a cold virus and we don't know enough about it to know what might make it more contagious. These are all quite deadly... while Ebola is dramatic, it does not have the potential to cause widespread death that the respiratory viruses have.

That is a very interesting take. You seem to post as presenting yourself as a very knowledgeable, scientific, expert on health issues. Yet, you are happy to take other’s opinions about an article written by an Emergency Doctor than bother to spend no more than ten minutes to read it for yourself. Some read it and see the alarm about the flu, I read it and see the alarm about HCWs saying “Screw It”. Not to mention the various approaches to treating flu vs ebola that have not been mentioned in the comments here.
