The Ebola virus is far more deadly than the Bubonic Plague which claimed the lives of millions in Europe in past centuries. There is no vaccine for Ebola, and no cure. The mortality rate for this virus between 55-90%. Ebola is not an airborne virus, transmission comes through contact with the victim, but like all viruses is capable of mutation and could become airborne and the world could face a global pandemic if such a thing occurs. All travelers into the United States from Ebola stricken countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Nigeria must undergo a government quarantine of 25 days to ensure the public safety.
