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.

We can't compare something that peaked and ended with something that is just starting. Now Ebola is out of Africa, lets give it a year and see what happens. I don't think it will reach the Fly numbers, but then again, I would rather die from a horrible flu than painfully bleed out of every orifice in my body as I vomited to death.
