Yes, America isn't Liberia -- Liberia doesn't see the low temps and low humidity that many parts of the U.S. experience in winter.

Move a disease out of its home environment and interesting things can happen. I would be surprised if Ebola infection rates via surface fomites didn't pick up during winter.

A novel virus breaking into a naive population during the start of the viral disease season has to be keeping the infectious disease guys up at night.
