Other countries have supposedly blocked it out completely.
Given the weird nature of this disease that might be overly optimistic an estimation. Sometimes it kills, sometimes it only sickens and could be mistaken for a flu.
If being deadly depended on a second infection with something else that is common in Africa and not common elsewhere, then there might be more Ebola in the world than we recognize.

I’m not sure where you got that impression; the current strain of Ebola virus is 70% lethal. To give that some perspective; according to Stanford University the 1918 Pandemic of Spanish Influenza was only 2.5% lethal. Of course influenza is spread much more easily than Ebola ...at least we hope it stays that way.

Perhaps you were confusing the initial symptoms of Ebola; which often resembles influenza (fever, headache, sore throat, muscle pain).
Yes, and just wait for the chaos when the cold & flu season kicks into high gear and hospitals are attempting to sort out the potential Ebola cases. All because Dumbo wouldn't take the obvious steps to close air connections with west African nations.
