If you're comparing the 1918 'Flu Pandemic with the current Ebola outbreak, I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. 'Flu is transmitted through the air, whereas Ebola is transmitted via bodily fluids; so it's much easier to transmit 'flu from person to person.
Which isn't to say the various governments of the world aren't going to fuck this up and end up killing millions of people.
