The virus Ebola is the most deadly thing to come along since the swine
flu in 2009 and the Asian bird flu or SARS. The first swine
flu influenza pandemic occurred in 1918 and killed an approximate 50-100
million worldwide. The virus reappears often but is not nearly as deadly as ebola. The more recent swine flu was responsible for 1,000,s but not
millions of deaths.
Ebola arrives at a time when people travel more often and with the virus itself being more communicable than the swine flu of 2009 there is a potential recipe for disaster.
