Ebola isn't going to kill everybody, apparently ~25% of people show pretty much no symptoms at all: http://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0005087 http://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal... It is pretty usual for viral infections to have a range of effects with only a small percent (~15% in the case of measles I believe) of people getting sick enough to report it. I don't know what that number is for ebola but it always seemed to me the initial estimates of its virulance were going to be high. I mean, nobody was going to go reporting flu like symptoms in an african village to the CDC.
