Ebola was something I’d fear spreading but not this.

Ebola makes people extremely sick and kills them extremely fast. It isn't conducive to major spread in the civilized world (we know how to handle dead bodies and bodily fluids from sick people). You will be shitting/puking/bleeding from every orifice in a short time, so you won't be out mingling with folks when you are ill.

This gives you a cold/flu feeling so many people will still go out and interact with dozens of people. Symptoms may be so mild in some folks that they don't know anything is wrong. Then they pass it on to the elderly, or those with other conditions (diabetes, heart issues, lung issues) and those people get seriously ill/die.
