What other diseases could come along to wipe us out?

I'm going with the Marburg Virus. Who doesn't want a virus that makes you bleed from all orifices and inflames your ballsack?
88% fatality rate too.

Many patients develop severe haemorrhagic manifestations between 5 and 7 days, and fatal cases usually have some form of bleeding, often from multiple areas. Fresh blood in vomitus and faeces is often accompanied by bleeding from the nose, gums, and vagina. Spontaneous bleeding at venepuncture sites (where intravenous access is obtained to give fluids or obtain blood samples) can be particularly troublesome. During the severe phase of illness, patients have sustained high fevers. Involvement of the central nervous system can result in confusion, irritability, and aggression. Orchitis (inflammation of one or both testicles) has been reported occasionally in the late phase of disease (15 days).

Sounds just a bit more mild than Ebola.

Ebola? Pffft. There's a vaccine for that.
