Why is Ebola less deadly in America than in Africa? - Vox

Why is Ebola less deadly in America than in Africa? - Vox: "So far, every story of an American infected with Ebola has ended happily, most recently, with today's news that Dallas nurse Nina Pham — the first patient to contract Ebola in the US — has been discharged from hospital, Ebola-free.

Beating the virus has become a familiar, almost expected, narrative here: Seven out of the eight Ebola patients treated in the United States have survived. These are hugely better outcomes than in Africa, where approximately 70 percent of patients die."
