Moderator's message: I'm taking the unusual step of editing this post to prevent the spread of misinformation.
The potential for widespread EVD infections is considered low as the disease is only spread by direct contact with the secretions from someone who is showing signs of infection. The quick onset of symptoms makes it easier to identify sick individuals and limits a person's ability to spread the disease by traveling.

Original message, with added strikeout font:
Oh, I fully believe it is coming worldwide big time. There is no way to stop it. It is now in 6 countries, at the same time. It is in cities with millions and 10s of millions of people, for the first time. It is over 3,000 that have been infected and they are claiming it could be 4 times higher than the official numbers, that would be over 12,000 infected already.
Now, anyone tell me what there is, that will stop it now. The CDC and WHO want to know along with every country on earth. I will make this short there is nothing to stop it.
Bodies are lying in the streets for days and outside the new Ebola wards o the ground because they were not admitted, because there were not any beds left. The dogs are eating the bodies and are hosts carriers. Those who die in other homes, or on the streets are not counted in the official numbers. The experts on the ground there are saying it is running faster than they are, with terms like explosive and lightning speed.
You are being fed lies it is hard to catch, and the doctors and nurses are running away from it and the regular hospitals are shutting down there. It is far worse than anyone here wants to imagine, and denial and ignorance are Ebola's friend. Did you know many in those country deny it exists??
I remember when HIV/AIDS was call a "gay disease", like calling Ebola a "third world disease". It does not care if you are Japanese, USA, or what country you are from you are just fresh meat to it. It is killing record numbers of doctors and nurses in moonsuits, without the positive air ventilation using all the protocols. Entire villages have been wiped out.
Tell me one reason it won't be spreading more and more and one real reason it will be any different in any country when it does. The hospitals will shut down. The doctors and nurses will quit, for the most part, and of those that don't many will die. Businesses will shut down and you will not have food or medical. Many will die of starvation or medical needs, before Ebola can even get to them.
Tell me what will stop it from happening. Now, if you believe in miracles it won't but you better put it first on your news list and watch what is happening and plan for it, at some point before it gets bad wherever you live. Study what happened in the Days of the Black Death and ask yourself if anything really has changed and if we are not seeing the same nonsense that didn't work then and the same results.
Then there were not over 6 billion people in the world, nor fast trains cars and airplanes. It was all by foot, so it couldn't travel far or fast in a month, and there were not a lot of people. In hours a person with Ebola can be landing anywhere in the world, and that person can be spreading it for up to 3 weeks while showing no signs of disease and they are undetectable/invisible. If they do survive they are still able to infect for months afterwards. If they die the same thing. Then you have the dogs, rats, pigs, and who knows what else that gets it too. And this is NOT a movie folks but real life happening now.
I am not panicked but I am not a fool either and have been watching this since MAY closely. I never had concerns about the bird flu or swine flue, like most did. THIS is way different. WHO says it. CDC says it. And the dead and live doctors and disease specialist on the ground there say it.
