The ebolapocalypse and the real threat

I could wax eloquent, but the only reason for this post is to use the word ebolapocalypse.
There are all the articles pointing out how many more people die of car accidents, the common cold, even a lack of exercise, not to mention old age.
This is not the plague.  We don't live in plague times.  We're only obsessed because its "hard to cure" since clearly it can be cured.
We have the resources to contain even an extended outbreak of ebola.
It is more viral than some would have us believe, but it is not airborne which is what you need for a real virapocalypse in these days of rat control.
Of course, what happens if a person with ebola gets bit by a mosquito?  Oh no!
The real plague, however, is the lack of plague.  The population of the world is growing at an unsustainable rate.  it is the overpopulapocalypse that will kill us all; how ironic.
