Horrifying and apocalyptic. Public health wasn't nearly as developed in Africa back then, AND was having issues from the financial crisis in the late 80s/early 90s Africa. A lot less doctors getting paid, cuts to health, etc.--I have heard that if smallpox had been as prominent in that era as it was in the 1960s, it never would've been eradicated to this day.
You're looking at a general West African epidemic, at the very least, with easily 3 times the death rate and corresponding infection rates. Outbreaks in the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso guaranteed. And that's just the beginning.
I wonder if ebola eradication would be impossible and the world would just have to accept ebola as endemic, albeit with a much reduced death rate.
