Re:CDC confirms first Ebola case diagnosed in US by tjohns on Tuesday September 30, 2014 @08:42PM (#8392253)
The CFR (case fatality rate) in this outbreak is actually closer to 71% once adjusted for time between case onset and resolution.

It only looks like 50% at first glance because people are catching the disease so quickly that the number of deaths hasn't had time to catch up.
