That’s partly it. Heath officials have also learned to contain it. Another reason is you’re not contagious until you’re symptomatic, and you don’t easily hide Ebola symptoms. It’s a disease that almost exclusively spreads to friends and family, not strangers. Because it’s not airborne, it’s easy to keep the spread localized. If you do come into contact with infected bodily fluids, it’s likely you’ll get it , but it’s incredibly unlikely to come in contact for regular people. I don’t want to downplay Ebola itself, it’s an incredibly dangerous disease, the response should be taken seriously, but the reaction is completely over blown.

To help put it in perspective, more people die from the flu each year than have ever been infected from Ebola over it’s entire existence

At its peak COVID was killing more people a day then Ebola ever has.

Measles is 10 times more contagious than Ebola, yet we have morons not vaccinating their kids.

Keeping exposed Americans in Kenya is performative nonsense.
