I'll try to answer your questions and clear some fear about Ebola that I read in this topic.
Ebola is unlikely to become a massive pandemic mostly because it isn't airborne. To contract it, you need to touch the victim's fluid (alive or dead)[1]. Some funeral practices in Africa involve the family cleaning the defunct body and washing their hands in the same bowl. As this is the first serious outbreak in West Africa, people have a hard time understanding they can't touch their loved ones bodies after they're gone. Besides, Ebola kills too fast to become a world-spread pandemic, probably even if it was airborne.
Surviving Ebola is possible - this epidemic so far kills between 60 and 70 % - but because of the numerous haemorrhages you endure you may suffer consequences, such as eye or liver damage. Apparently most people don't have sequelae but it's hard to find relevant sources for this.
