It hasn't mutated. It cropped up where it was not expected, so infected more people before we knew it was ebola. Once the cat is out of the bag, damn hard to get it back in again.

Millions of Deaths? Please.

Also the governments did not keep particularly good records of cases to begin with, so contact tracing is harder this time.

It hasn't mutated, we've gotten complacent.
