It sure killed a LOT of people in the process though, so I wouldn't say that that's quite so reassuring.

- jacquesm 9y agoCounter-intuitively the speedy kill is actually what makes Ebola comparatively safe, if the victims would live longer they would infect far more others though even in death there is plenty of risk in handling the bodies during burial, especially in remote locations.
- makmanalp 9y agoI understand that - I'm just pointing out that while Ebola perhaps isn't putting humans at extinction risk, it's still not good by any measure. We (I) don't want anything remotely like it lying around at anyone's disposal.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoYeah, but we're definitely safe from an extinction level event.
- dvtv75 9y agoYou had to go there, didn't you? You just had to say it. When we're all dead in a week, I'm blaming you.
