If you bothered to take 5 minutes to educate yourself you'd already know. Yeah Ebola was more deadly, but it was much much more difficult to spread. As it is this strain is 10 times more deadly that seasonal flu which kills 32,000 per year, so if this super fast spreading virus become seasonal then you have a problem.
It's highly contagious when it's in the upper respiratory tract, but it's possible to have very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, meanwhile you can spread it, later it moves down to the lower respiratory tract where it does the real damage, but is not so contagious then. Other SARS type viruses are either upper or lower but not both. They are either highly contagious not so deadly, or more deadly but less contagious.
Plus it's unknown. It's not even known if it's possible to make a vaccine, or if it will work. I guess this has them spooked.

What's got them spooked this time?
