Also to be noted of great importance. The way the virus acts today, does not determine how it will act tomorrow.

They are constantly sharing genetic information from one case to the next. Patients can even be infected with more than one virus at a time, leading to the potential of viruses carrying new traits or acting in novel ways.

For now, Ebola is not as easily spread. Typically close contact with bodily fluids is what it takes. The more people who get infected the greater the chance the couscous change. Perhaps becoming something that exhibits more respiratory symptoms, this leading to a more efficient means of transmission.
