I am bouncing back and forth between the positions you describe. At the end of the day, though, if the "R-naught" is less than 2 in uncontrolled situations, and something like 1 in a hospital, it seems like it can be reduced to <1 pretty easily.

As I understand it, the most dangerous type of "worse" is ebola becoming less deadly.



> becoming less deadly

I suppose you could describe being contagious for longer or being contagious with less prominent symptoms as "less deadly".
