Peter Piot one of discoverers of Ebola: "I am more worried about the (West Africa and India connection)

Peter Piot, who helped to discover and name the virus, told the Guardian newspaper that he was concerned in particular about the link between West Africa and India:
...an outbreak in Europe or North America would quickly be brought under control. I am more worried about the many people from India who work in trade or industry in West Africa. It would only take one of them to become infected, travel to India to visit relatives during the virus's incubation period, and then, once he becomes sick, go to a public hospital there. Doctors and nurses in India, too, often don't wear protective gloves. They would immediately become infected and spread the virus.
 West Africa also has strong links with China, where the health system can be similarly patchy.

Epidemiologists have been preparing for this kind of nightmare for decades. "People have been talking about this for probably 20 years," said Stephen Morse, director of infectious disease epidemiology at the Columbia University Medical Center. Yet, even though there is more travel, and more people are living in cities, our global health responses still don't reflect this reality, says Morse. "I have been discouraged by the lackadaisical, the tepid, and late response by the global community."

The nightmare Ebola scenario that keeps scientists up at night

Though this is now complete speculation on my part, I wonder personally whether larger countries like Russia, China, the U.S. and European Union have thought about Ebola as an alternative to Nuclear world war and the extinction of all mankind and earth itself?

If you study history when overpopulation has occurred there are only two ways this gets handled: War or pandemics. 

Although, weather is another way this gets handled too. However, the human race appears very restless more now than at any time since World War II. Could Ebola be an alternative to a Third World War at this time?

The potential seems to be here to (take out) up to 50% of the world's populations. 

I'm sad to say this but maybe Ebola might actually save the human race from extinction in a third world war with nukes?

As usual, Truth is always much stranger than fiction.
