I was glad to see this article form the BBC detailing how a country with resources properly applied, can overcome this.

Summary from eboladeeply.org

Nigeria and Senegal Cited as Success Stories in Containing Ebola

Nigeria and Senegal could be declared officially free of Ebola within a few days, the BBC reports, as both countries near a period of 42 days without any new cases. As of Friday morning, Senegal was on the brink of being declared Ebola-free . The World Health Organization (WHO) called Nigeria’s successful contact tracing “a piece of world-class epidemiological detective work.” The 42-day period is twice the generally accepted maximum incubation period of the virus.

I think it demonstrates the efficacy of awareness over panic.
