You can't compare this thing to SARS at all. Not only does it have a longer incubation period, but SARS lives outside the host for up to 6 hours (4 days in poop). Filoviruses can live up to weeks outside of the host.
Not to mention SARS is spread from respiratory droplets. This thing is spread by: A) vomit B) saliva C) sweat and if you are running a high grade fever you are going to be sweating and transmitting this thing from every pore in your body.
So no, this is not going to be as easy to contain as SARS especially once it hits somewhere like India.
