A note about Ebola Virus.
It was extremely lethal and quick. It was highly contagions via contact but not airborne unless by close physical contact. It had a very extreme death rate and quick. This actually made it a very unsuccessful virus. It killed its victims quickly and the symptoms were very obvious in the early stages of the disease, thus it was easy to identify and quarantine.
The victim became sick quickly and died and thus were not a mobile disease vector via cars, trains, airplanes etc.

For Now, we’ve been able to prevent a large outbreak because of the brakes President Trump put on travel of Chinese nationals. Had he not taken quick action, which encouraged other nations to follow suit, the US would be Singapore on steroids about now.
