>> Ebola is a greater threat than ISIS.

Well, it is a greater threat to Africa. Not sure how it poses any threat at all to the US.

The scenario you present, of it becoming airborne, is a very remote possibility. I don't believe there is any virus known which has made that leap in humans. Not that it couldn't happen, of course.

If ISIS decides to attack in the United States the threat is big, and the likelihood of it is undoubtedly far greater than the likelihood of Ebola becoming airborne.
