No: The strains of ebola that affect humans spreads via contact with blood or body fluids that can be prevented by appropriate barrier protection. In the developed world, this will not decimate the human race.

No: The death rate for Ebola is approximately 55% (4 OCT 2014) with the current outbreak but in past death rates have been as high as 90%. Transmission is from someone who has signs of infection via contact wi blood or bodily fluids or through contact wi contaminated objects. Because Ebola virus is not airborne & is only transmitted once symptomatic it simplifies containment.
