For whatever people say, Ebola is still a fairly difficult disease to spread. True, it has jumped borders (even oceans).
However, patient's don't become infectious until they start showing visible symptoms. Not only that, the symptoms are pretty obvious. Compounding all of that, the vector by which the virus travels is one of the "slowest" routes available.
What I think this outbreak does show however, is that we as a global peoples, need to really rethink how we treat and handle the spread of disease.
