I agree Mort, in a village setting, which has been the norm for Ebola, the virus is limited in growth and spread by the number of hosts it can infect. In a modern city it has unlimited potential as it has the entire civilised world to spread to. It is worrying that a newly infected person who will not display the full blown symptoms for a while could get on a plane and land anywhere. The only plus side to our position in UK is that we are an island, and a strict lock down in a global pandemic would be on the cards. Although knowing Mother nature it would only be a matter of time till it landed on our shores.
