Your probably right
Here is some background on why this outbreak is so bad compared to others in Africa:

There are several reasons for the scope and severity of the current outbreak. Importantly, affected nations in West Africa lack experience in confronting this virus, as this is the first report of Ebola virus disease in the region. Traditional practices in the area, such as the ritual bathing, touching, and kissing of corpses, have facilitated transmission. Further, the outbreak epicenter is plagued by weak health infrastructure, a small health workforce that struggles to meet the needs of an impoverished population, and governments struggling to recover from recent regional conflicts. Moreover, the occurrence of the outbreak in proximity to porous borders allows individuals to travel easily; cross-border coordination of public health control measures has been more difficult than in past outbreaks. The spread of the virus into populous capital cities of affected countries has complicated contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine, and it has facilitated extension of the outbreak via travel to Nigeria and more recently Senegal.
However, I still think it's going to have a hard time finding a footing in the US.
