Someone infected with Ebola will have a hard time standing up, let alone traveling from rural west Liberia to Monrovia and getting on plane. Ebola in 3 days what AIDs does in 10 years

Have had Malaria multiple times. It's Africa's version of the flu. Its not a big deal. Yes older people and young children die from Malaria if they do not seek immediate medical attention. Guess what happens to old people and young children in the USA if they don't seek medical attention for the flu?
