Though it may seem contradictory the fact that Ebola is so deadly is also why it probably won't ever spread into a major epidemic. Since it only takes a week from the patient is infected until he almost certainly dies the virus doesn't have much time to spread to other victims. This is why past outbreaks of ebola have always been confined to relatively few people in a geographically confined area.

This fact is also what makes AIDS so deadly - you can be infected for many years without knowing it, and spreading the virus to countless other people in that time.
