>If someone makes it through the airport screens and carries the virus into a city, the epidemiology could become overwhelming before we know an outbreak has begun. Could, but very unlikely to, as Ebola doesn't spread as easily as cold or flu viruses. Most of the outbreaks in Africa, where numerous dangerous practices such as hospitals reusing needles helped spread the virus, have had only a few hundred cases. The latest outbreak is pushing towards 2000 cases but local practices that don't exist in the West are contributing significantly.
