I believe I've read that with supportive treatment, which is all there is, it's about 50%. Meanwhile, the Lizzies have to maintain perfect protocol when dealing with the copious amounts of Ebola juice the victims are producing for up to 10 days or so. Nice.
That's in Africa though. We don't have any data for mortality rate in the US or other developed nations.
The more I read your posts, the more I think you just have some fascination for a big US outbreak. There's a reason that people who know what they're talking about aren't in full on panic mode. There's no reason to be.

There doesn't need to be an outbreak on a catastrophic scale. I don't think that is the line where a reasonable person becomes concerned.
For every person in this thread that thinks it is airborne or thinks everyone is going to die, there is someone who sees no reason for concern because it's not a global killer.

Fair point. Hopefully our version of supportive treatment is worlds superior to what was administered there with limited success, people get treated sooner, etc etc etc. Hopefully there won't be enough cases to derive meaningful statistics. If anyone has it, I'd be interested in seeing an up-to-date list of people who have been treated in developed countries. I know the Liberian guy in Dallas died.
