[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Ebola is not an efficient virus from an evolutionary perspective, since unlike the common cold, it has not evolved a rapid airborne spread and kills its host before it can spread disease far and wide. Unless you are over there in the midst of patients dying from Ebola, you should be worrying a lot more about swine or avian flu! - virologist.[/quote] +1 Humans are not a natural reservoir for the virus (bats and other animals are) and it's not particularly good at infecting us. Kills us too quickly for good dispersal, relies on bodily fluid contact.[/quote]
