Ebola would burn itself out fairly quickly in the US, especially once it was identified. Because Ebola is not an airborne pathogen, once cases are identified isolation quickly limits the spread of the disease.
The biggest challenge would be dealing with the bedding and clothing from infected patients. Because contact with secretions and bodily fluids are the primary transmission vector, soiled bedding and clothing are devastatingly effective intermediary transmission modes.
Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever, not an influenza-like illness. To the best of my knowledge, Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are not effective against Ebola.
My point is that once effective treatment has been blocked for one disease, effective treatment may be blocked for another (regardless of similarity between ailments or lack thereof).

So how is that effectively dealt with in areas where ebola is endemic? Burn the contaminated bedding and clothing? Seems do-able.
