Very little.
Ebola is a known quantity in the USA.
*In continental Africa, it is not even universally known to be a disease.
*A woman got it from looking at a snake in a bag, which she was not supposed to look at. The snake escaped and ppl be lookin at the snake
*The whites brought it. Hospitals were made and people started dying.
*The so-called people in the suits are not hospital workers, they are aliens here to harvest your organs.
and then
*If your villagers start getting sick, high-tail it to the next village over to keep yourself safe (during the incubation period, while you infect them!)
*The custom is to touch a corpse at the funeral. If you really loved the person, you might throw yourself on them weeping, and roll all over the body - which is at its most infectious with ebola, seeing the person just died from being full of ebola.
These are not problems we have in the USA to a large degree. Besides which, our supportive care is much better than "pray to the mountain and hope for the best."

Those are cool and all but there is a limited supply in the world.
Man was on the way to USA. Collapsed and died in airport in Nigeria. In the most densely populated city on Africa (23M people). Died of Ebola.
