Ebola, do you know what it is without Googling it? 1

So I'm at work today being trained by some girls who are in the 20-23 age range. We work in the microbiology/molecular biology department, so we all work with various pathogens. Somehow biosafety level 4 comes up and they didn't know anything about it. I tell them that's where they deal with stuff like Ebola, Marburg, Smallpox, etc.
These girls had never heard of Ebola. I was dumbfounded. I thought (almost) everyone knows what Ebola is. Apparently younger folks don't because there haven't been any major outbreaks that made the news since the 90s.
I'm about 95% sure this is an age related thing, so I'm making a poll to test that.

It's a slate-wiper; nine out of ten who get it die. Thought to come from primates, but scientists really don't know at this point.

I know it's something I want nothing to do with, and that's about the extent of it. I don't know if it's a virus or bacteria, what it's symptoms are, how you get it (shitty food maybe?), or anything like that.
I know that every time I hear or see the word "ebola" I automatically sing it in my head like they do in those Ricola commercials.
Wait no, e. coli comes from shitty food.
