The Ebola virus doesn't spread well. You need a quite sick person showing sweat and saliva all over. As you can imagine, there's reasons it's showing to the extent it has on Africa.
Having said all that, it's concerning that a man could travel to west Africa and bring it here. There should be a better quarantine protocol for travellers from there

Yeah, I don't imagine that in poor African countries, people have easy access to medical facilities and treatment. Caring for the sick and dying happens more in the home and community.
The U.S should be able to handle something like this fairly well. It's still scary for anyone who gets it, but I wouldn't expect an epidemic.
