It's not a very communicable disease.
Point being it is a damn deadly bug.
It also allows for a long period of asymptomatic carrier transport rendering the "flight crew screening" relatively moot.
Bottomline: Based on what we saw in Charlotte this week, we should be concerned.

And none of these has caused anything resembling a true "ZOMG let's make a I am Legend Movie" epidemic.

Well (clears throat and puts on smug face" Malaria kills a couple of million every year. Ebola has killed 1600 in 40 years. As someone who had to shite his guts out taking doxycycline as a prophylaxis for two years to avoid catching malaria, I'd like to inform you that there are plenty of deadly "bugs" out there.

It's not communicable when its hosts/victims are asymptomatic. Once they become symptomatic, they are easy enough to quarantine. It's not airborne.

Been to West Africa. Zero "concerns" given.
