Far as I know, only the lucky survive Ebola even when early identification and symptomatic treatment is given.

Interesting that you brought that point up, ODNT. When we look at key biomarkers in the blood of EBOLA survivors it looks as if these survivors had a co-infection on board at the time of infection with EBOLA. Specifically, a parasitic infection IMO. The co-infection would have conferred a pre-infection activated innate immune response that would have reduced or eliminated infecting EBOLA virus. Incidentally, I seem to recall a similar effect and resistance to HIV infection.
My advice to you guys worrying about getting an EBOLA infection, rub some dirt in it.
