People understand exponential growth, but the US is not conducive to spread of Ebola. The problems found in Africa that prevent effective management of the situation do not exist here: Lack of hospitals, suspicion of outsiders/doctors, general hygiene, etc.

And different burial practices, including I gather different from Central Africa, generally speaking.

The CDC just issued instructions for U.S. funeral homes.
