That is because the epidemic in West Africa is starting to burn itself out. All the too late too ineffective measures taken when the West started thinking it was going to spread are taking hold and the epidemic will probably be over by the summer with a death toll of 25-35 thousand.
So in other words, it’s still ongoing? I don’t think I’ve heard of any new cases in the U.S. since that doctor in New York got it. At the same time, I’ve heard that they were suppressing news of new cases here, so I’m not sure about the true situation.
I don’t believe there have been any new cases in the US since that Dr. in New York. The outbreak has not stopped in AFrica, it has just slowed down. The CDC Ebola tracking page is pretty interesting. http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/index.html
Since Americans and Europeans are not dying then EBola is no longer news. Much like Ukraine is essentially ignored in the US media but the fighting there has not stopped. I am paying particular attention to Ukraine as that fighting is less than a days drive from where I live.
