this article basically says that Ebola is a "sudden onset" problem - a
fever develops quickly and then the patient is very contagious

we have a situation where everyone from the affected area is a ticking
time bomb apparently

not mentioned - people with strong immune systems probably never break
into a fever

also not mentioned - the fever usually occurs within 21 days of
infection - which seems to match the idea that the adaptive portion of
the immune system gets up to full strength within 21 days of
introduction to a new pathogen - which matches the idea that a
"epidemic" is a sudden onset situation over 21 days
