It will “run out of fuel” and “burn itself out”. The question is how much “fuel” it will consume before that happens.

29% of those exposed get a clinical case of the disease, with about 21% of exposed individuals dying of the disease. 33% of those exposed have some immune response but never develop symptoms; in other words, they fight it off quickly without ever developing a high fever. 38% of those “exposed” (in the sense of having close, unprotected contact) do not develop any immune response and can be assumed to have gotten lucky.

Based on those numbers, Ebola should run out of “fuel” after somewhere between 1.4 and 3.3 billion people. That may not matter to liberals, who see those victims as sources of CO@ “pollution”, but it matters a great deal to me.
