Ebola makes you insane. Messes with your mind before the fever comes and is measurable (my theory)

Not a theory. In the book The Hot Zone it tells how Ebola victims essentially become apathetic and lethargic. They really aren't thinking right.

I agree and so does my Wife (Neurologist). This is interesting and was posted at Pandemic Flu Information Forum:

"These are children who had a normal course of illness...and had a clinical recovery, and both of these children became ill in a day or two," Dr Sprecher continued. "They came back and were found to be febrile and [PCR-]positive again. Both children had some neurologic signs. The feeling amongst the virologists is...the virus gets into some parts of the body with immunologic protection, like the central nervous system. The immune response clears the virus from the periphery, the patient has a clinical recovery, while the viral infection progresses in the [central nervous system] and eventually returns and reemerges as a renewed positivity. At least one of the children became negative again."

There is a theory that influenza and measles virii cause people to want to be around other people in the early, most contagious stage of these diseases.
