What is the point of no return for ebola?

I do believe that within a certain limit US health resources can stop ebola. The problem is that once the number of ebola patients grows large enough there will not be enough resources to track down contacts and all that.

Once we exceed that number the infection will begin to skyrocket. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt with Duncan. We got our cherry popped with him and now everybody is taking notice and reacting so I see a better response from here on out.

BUT, how many ebola can our system handle before it is overwhelmed? 20? 100? 5000?

If we exceed that number then mathematically we have lost.
