You wouldn't? Two people get it in Africa, had enough time to get brought here and are both fine now.

Not a large enough sample to make a definitive claim as for curability.

The fatality rate is between 25-90%, depending on location. If we are one of the better treatment locations, that is still a 25% fatality rate.

It isn't easily treatable. Management is mainly supportive. IV hydration, maintaining airway, and protecting against other infections.
