The more virulent the disease, the more self-limiting it is. If victims die too fast, then it can't propagate effectively. It would require infected vectors to be deliberately shipped via air all over the world to spread the disease. If Ebola was like the flu it would have spread out of Africa already.

So the new viri that we have to worry about are those that are more virulent than the flu strains we get each year, but which is likely much less virulent than Ebola. It is possible for Ebola to evolve less virulent strains but this cannot be predicted.

And presumably, the less virulent, the greater the number of people who will not succumb to it!

Yes MBS, you are talking about "The time before the symptoms of a viral infection appear is called the incubation period. "
But also period of being contagious see link below
https://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1068.aspx?CategoryID=67
Obviously, the most dangerous combination is a long incubation period during which you already are contagious.
But specifically in terms of virulence, it involves method of infection and how lethal the pathogen is. What experts are very worried about is an extremely lethal pathogen like Ebola able to transmit itself airborne like the Flu.

(CNN)As health care workers battle a deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, one important tool has been promising in preventing spread of the virus but can be difficult to carry out: contact tracing.

That's the process of identifying and assessing the health of people who have been exposed to Ebola virus disease, in order to prevent further spread of the virus, according to the World Health Organization....

Outbreak still active; response pace builds
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a Jun 1 situation report that the outbreak remains active, with the most recent lab-confirmed case reported in Iboko.

It said the response continues to ramp up on many fronts. For example, Early Warning, Alert, and Response (EWAR) systems and field data collection tools have been deployed to Mbandaka and are being established in Iboko. Also, health officials mapped out 115 entry points at high-risk transmission areas, including airports, river ports, bus stations, and markets.

A mobile lab has been deployed to Iboko, and several social mobiliziation efforts are under way, such as an awareness campaign that targeted traditional healers and birth attendants with Ebola information and gloves....

Sigh. People just cannot do mathematics. 50,000 deaths out of 7.6 Billion humans is 0.00658%. YES, it's a particularly nasty way to die. So is the fever, nausea, diarrea, and sweats of common strains of influenza, which killed an estimated 646,000 people in 2017. Influenza is far deadlier because it is less intense, and sufferers from the flu spread it before displaying any symptoms.

I know that you can reason, you simply must develop the habit of thinking before speaking. Start a thread on Influenza, and maybe you'll get some responses that don't amount to criticism of your thinking skills. After all, influenza is 13X as deadly as Ebola on average, and in 1919 the Spanish Flu Pandemic killed an estimated 20-50 million people.

Looks like it's official. WSJ (behind a pay wall, but I got to the beginning of the article through a Yahoo link for free.

World Health Organization praises government response and international support

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been declared officially over, thanks to a major response from the government and support by an international community determined to prevent the sort of spread that killed more than 11,000 people in west Africa three years ago.

There were 53 cases and 29 deaths in the DRC outbreak that began in early May, but a massive effort began to contain it as soon as the government declared it was Ebola. Although DRC had successfully contained and closed down eight Ebola outbreaks in the past four decades, the most recent appeared on the Congo River, the main arterial transport route through the country.

New Ebola Outbreak in Congo

HealthDay News — Just a week after being declared Ebola-free, the Democratic Republic of Congo said yesterday that a new outbreak of the deadly virus has killed at least 20 people.

Authorities in North Kivu Province notified the country's Health Ministry on Aug. 1 of 26 suspected cases of Ebola, including the 20 deaths, Health Minister Oly Ilunga Kalenga, M.D., Ph.D., said in a statement, The New York Times reported.

Samples from the six survivors were tested this week, and four were positive for Ebola.

This is the 10th time since 1976 that Ebola has threatened the Democratic Republic of Congo, The Times reported. The previous outbreak lasted a few months and killed at least 33 people. It was declared over on July 24....

Still so ridiculous to see Ebola tagged with “pandemic”. Especially given: “…determined to prevent the sort of spread that killed more than 11,000 people in west Africa three years ago.” From Merriam-Webster: “: occurring over a wide geographic area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population. The 1918 flu was pandemic and claimed millions of lives.”
Just done to pull readers in."

If your country practices basic sanitation(No dancing with the dead) and have basic medical services and precautions, the likelihood of ever having an Ebola pandemic is basically zero.

I think it depends. It seems pretty clear that the MSM are not really up to the task of keeping us informed about what is really important. So we need to dig for ourselves. In the process we probably turn over a lot of stuff that is not really of emergent interest, it’s kinda like shifting garbage looking for a clue.

We find something interesting and share it to see if it’s really a clue or not.

I don’t mind the big red fonts too much. Yeak, over hype. But he does keep feeding us with info I find interesting and that is not readily available (to me) elsewhere.
