To be fair, there is a vaccine (still experimental), and the disease is spread via contact with bodily fluids. It sounds like one of the major issues is there is conflict which is preventing people from either trusting people trying to help them, or preveting the logicstics required for medical staff to reach them to help them. In the US, while there is a group of people who don't trust vaccines, most normal people would both trust, and have access. But who knows, maybe ebola could solve our anti vax issue for a few more decades.
