Nope, that is bullshit. The onset of symptoms is extremely fast with Ebola. Which is why it's not that scary of disease. It is because of how nasty it is, but as a global pandemic virus it isn't at all. Symptoms come on too quickly, and it is too debilitating. It would never be able to become a global pandemic.

Also, Ebola outbreaks in Africa are actually much more common than most people probably realize.
