I think mostly CDC and others have handled this virus as well as any very large country can handle a new, highly infectious disease within its borders - with mistakes of medical doctors treating it for the first time, insufficient protocols and few cases of hysterical reactions here and there. Mostly, people are going about daily their daily lives and our docs and hospitals are getting up to speed.

The only thing that even gives me pause about our country's ability to handle the Ebola virus is the possibility of somehow Mexico getting many cases of it, their healthcare system becoming overwhelmed and many people begin mass migration north across the borders, any number of them possibly newly infected. Aside from that unlikely situation, I think we can manage it as more cases crop up as they most certainly will at the current rate of infection in West Africa. That's where the world needs to focus its efforts and money.
