The Indonesia article if from 2 years ago, and those were not human cases, but orangutans.

This is a zoonotic illness. Thus I posted the article to show that it was in the geographic area. Since this illness crosses species and actually becomes airborne (and thus more prone to spread) in some species, the geographic area is very important.

In humans it is less likely to become airborne as it effects the liver rather than the lungs as it does in some animals.

When Ebola is in an area it will most likely have another outbreak as it has proven in the past. Two years or two days does not matter when it is in an area and carried by hosts who are unaffected by the disease, but can still transmit it to humans.
