I don't think the US has a problem with an ebola pandemic. I do believe that the governments around the world are understating how contagious this disease is. I wonder how many of those 19 infected people died? Did they attempt to save them, or did they essentially wait for them to die? Depending on the answer, it could make the reaction of health workers and patients in Nigeria behave very differently.

The linked WHO pdf (at the point in the article mentioning the 19 confirmed cases) states that there were 8 deaths in Nigeria (the other 12 have recovered). One of those is a death that is only listed as a probable Ebola case. Normally, we have to complain that news articles don't link to their sources!

They were treated, all of them got treatments.
