Which is part of my point.
You have 10,000 cases, almost all of them in Africa.
In a HORRIBLE public health environment. It is a literal nightmare of containment, with no resources to combat it, and the population insisting that Ebola doesn't exist and as a result they are breaking into clinics treating the patients and destroying them.
All of that....and 10,000 cases in nearly a year.
HIV, which is ONLY spread by bodily fluid to blood contact, has 5 times that in the US medical system, which is light years better.
And yet the media/people are trying to invent some bogeyman that this is more contagious than it actually is. Saying that there is no way that it can be just bodily fluid to blood contact.

I guess it is different models of infection. HIV shows not outward signs, sometimes for decades. Generally, Ebola resembles other disease processes, in just a few days, but people pick up on it once there is an outbreak. And yet, still it spreads.
