Its very likely that Ebola would not have 70% death rate in the United States like it does in Liberia and Sierra Leone. We have much better supportive care available. However, I am highly suspicious of the claim that ebola is difficult to contract and that it does not live long outside of the body. The entire country watched men in hazmat suits cleaning inside and outside of the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan stayed in Texas. Why did they take such precaution if the virus died quickly outside of the body. I'm not overly concerned about the risk of an outbreak in the United States ,but, I think there is a very good chance of more confirmed cases.
