Ebola is a virus not like Anthrax which is a bacteria. It only requires exposure to 1 - 10 viron particles to come down with the virus. The embola virus wipes out your liver which produces the clotting factors. You bleed out with both internal and external bleeding.

I am familiar with the difference between viral and bacterial diseases and our comparative inability to treat the viral ones.

However, it is just a fact that we won’t know how effective treatment can potentially be until patients are provided with the best possible care.

I am not claiming this stuff isn’t dangerous. Hantavirus is not dissimilar to Ebola in many of its effects, and is endemic to the SW US. My sister’s best friend, healthy young mother of four, contracted it. Less than four days later she was dead. One organ system after another failed.
