There just are not enough ebola cases, much less deaths, in the US to make it a major concern.

But time will tell, as it seems to be already telling.

If the reinfection rate is higher than 1.0 then you have a high potential for a pandemic. The CDC has estimated the reinfection rate, R, as higher than 1.7. That is near disaster level.
