Not going to happen.
The bread shelves were cleared in minutes when the oil strikes hit.
Then remember this…
Ebola is back? It never went away, there are outbreaks periodically as always.
The actual fatality rate is unknown because so few people get infected that you can't get good predictive power, and it's always in some 3rd world country where half the victims were already dying of something anyway.

Probably because Ebola is currently running rampant in a couple of Western African states, something like 100 people dead already.

Dude are you for real? What the heck have you been smoking?
On a serious note I heard you can see the virus with an Infrared camera and XBOX kinect.
Rabies.
The deadly H7N9 bird flu which has had outbreaks in China. Another strain, H5N8 has emerged in Korea recently.
Quite. It never really went away in the first place. This is just the media picking on the next thing as far as I'm concerned, much like the reported return of the bubonic plague the other week...

Virus's and disease are FAR more likely to be carried and spread by illegal immigrants imo than any lack of education within an existing populace. When your nearest and dearest is a specialist midwife and sexual health policy writer you learn a lot, including just how frequent containment practices are swung into action.
The Ebola virus is itself by definition a killer, even though contracting it is a process not so easily started. I for one am definately NOT about to take a chance on that one. More common infection threats come via public NHS portals such as waiting rooms where ironically people are bottle necked together prior to appointments or urgent treatments. Also surface contact via almost any kind of handle.
I guess that understanding and appreciating the potential exposure risk hot spots is as always a key part of education and minimizing potential spread of any virus or disease.
