Tecnicamente parlando, l'Ebola non è una grossa minaccia per l'uomo.
E' uno di quei virus destinati a estinguersi.
Quando un virus violento riesce ad uccidere velocemente il corpo infettato, questi non ha tempo di spostarsi (poichè la malattia è troppo violenta per il soggetto interessato) e diffondere la malattia ovunque ma più facilmente morirà sul posto come pochissimi altri vicini a lui infettati.
Dopo che una piccola comunità sarà deceduta a causa del virus, e che nessuno appunto sia riuscito ad infettare un elemento di un'altra comunità, Il virus stesso terminerà lì il proprio ciclo di vita.
Più un virus è altamente mortale, meno è pericoloso dal punto di vista globale perchè l'infezione non si propagherà abbastanza velocemente.
Come una bomba che invede di esplodere, implode.

400 Possible Ebola Carriers - Terror spreads in West Africa - 2 April 2014 current
"DOCTORS and heath officials are racing to find almost 400 people who could be spreading one of the world's deadliest contagious diseases as the number of confirmed cases across three countries in West Africa rose to 127 yesterday.
"At least 83 people have died from Ebola in the latest outbreak.
"He said the Government had established a telephone hotline for members of the public to report anyone they thought was showing symptoms, which include sudden fever and muscle pain followed by vomiting and diarrhoea.
"At least 14 health workers are among the dead. They are thought to have contracted the disease, which can penetrate through skin, before they realised what they had been in contact with.
"Bart Janssens, director of operations at Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the international aid agency, said that they had flown 52 international staff and more than 40 tonnes of equipment to Guinea, so that they could establish isolation wards in an attempt to halt the spread of the disease.
"Mariano Lugli, a nurse with MSF who had been treating patients, said that staff had to wear head-to-toe biohazard suits, despite the heat, to protect themselves from infection. In the worst cases, symptoms included "bleeding from the mouth, the anus and the ears, all the parts of the body where it is possible to bleed out of," Mr Lugli said.
"Although their first priority was to contain the disease and support the sick patients, he said that they also had two psychologists on hand to alleviate the panic it can cause. "People are terrified," Mr Lugli said. "

i have a weird question. Since we are on a conspiracy forum, we may as well go all the way.
Could the Ebola crisis in Guinea be linked in any way to the unidentified cargo that was transported by the Malaysian jet which, in all possible déductions, was hijacked, in all probabilities, to Diego Garcia? Just a thought out of the blue moon.

Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses as Biological Weapons
Animal studies using nonhuman primates have demonstrated that clinical infection can be caused by aerosolized preparations of some hemorrhagic fever viruses, including Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, New World arenaviruses, and yellow fever viruses (Alves 2010, Johnson 1995, Kenyon 1992, Reed 2011, Stephenson 1984). Additional viruses (Rift Valley fever virus and flaviviruses) have been shown to cause aerosol infections in the laboratory setting (Banerjee 1979, Smithburn 1949). These viruses are considered potentially suitable as biological weapons (Borio 2002, Bray 2003) because:
They can be disseminated through aerosols.
They have a low infectious dose.
They cause high morbidity and mortality.
They cause fear and panic in the general public.
Effective vaccines are not available or supplies are limited.
These pathogens are available and most can be readily produced in large quantities.
Research on weaponizing various hemorrhagic fever viruses has been conducted in the past despite the lack of treatment options or protective vaccines.
Examples of countries that have either weaponized hemorrhagic fever viruses or conducted biological weapons research on these viruses include the following (MIIS):
The Soviet Union produced weaponized Marburg virus and conducted research on Ebola, Lassa, Rift Valley fever, and yellow fever viruses and New World arenaviruses.
The United States conducted biological weapons research on Lassa, Rift Valley fever, and yellow fever viruses and New World arenaviruses.
North Korea may have weaponized yellow fever virus.
In 2000, the CDC published a list of Category A agents (ie, those that are most likely to cause mass casualties if deliberately disseminated, can be released as small aerosols, and require broad-based public health preparedness). The list included New World arenaviruses and Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa viruses (CDC 2000:Biological and chemical terrorism).
According to the Working Group on Civilian Biodefense, hemorrhagic fever viruses that pose serious threats as potential biological weapons include the following (Borio 2002):
Ebola virus
Marburg virus
Lassa virus
New World arenaviruses
Machupo (Bolivian hemorrhagic fever)
Junin (Argentine hemorrhagic fever)
Guanarito (Venezuelan hemorrhagic fever)
Sabia (Brazilian hemorrhagic fever)
Rift Valley fever virus
Yellow fever virus
Kyasanur forest disease virus
Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus

The defector, Kanatjan Alibekov, now known as Ken Alibek, says in the book that as deputy director of a top branch of the Soviet program, he knew of the disaster in China because he saw secret Soviet intelligence reports twice a month.
Spy satellites peering down at China found what seemed to be a large biological-weapons laboratory and plant near a remote site for testing nuclear warheads, he wrote. Intelligence agents then found evidence that two epidemics of hemorrhagic fever swept the region in the late 1980s.
The area had never previously known such diseases, which cause profuse bleeding and death.
"Our analysts," Alibek said, "concluded that they were caused by an accident in a lab where Chinese scientists were weaponizing viral diseases." Viral scourges that cause intense bleeding include Marburg fever and the dreaded Ebola virus. Both are endemic to Africa.
China has signed a 1972 treaty banning biological weapons. During World War II it became one of the few modern countries to experience their horrors when Japanese attackers sowed epidemics there, killing thousands of Chinese.
U.S. intelligence agencies have long suspected that China harbors a biological-weapons program. Early in 1993, shortly after Alibek fled to the United States, the outgoing Bush administration accused Beijing of having an active germ-warfare effort, which it has denied.
