Hibiclens contains the biocide chlorhexidine. Great for killing off most pathogens, even enveloped viruses such as EBOV.
Came across this paper on the estimated reproduction rate of the current outbreak, which shows 1.52 for Guinea, 2.42 for Sierra Leone and 1.65 for Liberia: http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.3505 So yeah, numbers like this are quite serious, especially given the low level of available medical help and protective gear.
On the bright side, there might be a better chance of containment now in Lagos, even though I just heard that another doctor who treated their "patient zero" has not recovered as was reported earlier, but passed away from the disease.
