It is not so dangerous. Even in Africa, where the majority of the population don't understand about how diseases spread and there are poor health care provisions, only 50% of those that contract it die. Also it is spread by contact with bodily fluids - something that happens a lot less in the USA than in Africa. Side: ISIS is a crisis

If ISIS launches a terrorist attack on America, say, somehow bombing The Freedom Tower in NYC, the people in that tower will experience more terror in their hearts than a disease that spreads through bodily fluids. Side: ISIS is a crisis

Maybe. A small number, for a short duration. A virulent disease can terrify far more people for a much longer time than a single terrorist bombing, and those who die from it suffer far more than most bomb victims in the meantime. And a terrorist attack is something we know we can strike back against, or increase security to protect against, or something to that effect; we can treat ebola but we can't really control it, all we can do is distance ourselves from it and hope for the best. It can potentially create a level of helplessness that terrorism simply can't match. Side: Ebola..... duh
