Wow. It's still fast to show symptoms right? That seems to be the silver lining with ebola. It doesn't incubate for weeks before becoming obvious, if I recall

Well more like yay you can't spread it to 100 people before you realize you have it. That makes it much less likely to spread in to a worldwide epidemic
