That graphic stops at 800. There are over 4000 dead now from this current outbreak, pushing 10,000 infected and rapidly spreading. If it does get to 10,000 per week, that is beyond containment, treatment, or hope. Most people die from Ebola, and they can not manufacturer these experimental drugs fast enough to help that many people, not to mention the cost.

While it can be argued that half a million people died last year from malaria on a global scale, or mass deaths from any other illness such as cancer or heart related issues, none of them are spread from person to person via a sneeze, or cause you to bleed out of every orifice in your body until you die. Ebola is probably one of the worst ways to die, thus the fear.
