Again, there haven't been enough Ebola cases in Western countries to have a mortality rate.

Please stop applying facts you don't understand (like the mortality rate of Ebola in Africa versus a Western country) to situations that are beyond your grasp.

Sometimes it's good to know when you don't know. This is one of those times.
