What's real is that there never was such a disease. Not for any living creature.
Think about it. A disease wants to live just like anything else. If it kills whatever hosts it, it kills itself.
Even ebola became less dangerous naturally. And the dangerous strains are actually kept locked up and frozen.
It's just the masses that would eventually suffer. Many would survive.

@DeWayfarer Nope. It doesn't work like that. A [i]disease as a whole[/i] doesn't have wants or plans or agency. Individual Ebola virus particles keep trying to copy themselves until the host dies, end of story. Evolution works at the level of individuals, not whole species.
