I’m far from an expert myself but unless, as you say, the experts are feeding us via the media “absolute horseshit” the expected number of U.S. deaths from Ebola is way below 50K.
What we seem to be doing but with significantly more countermeasures if the number of U.S. victims increases. Obama would suffer a massive political hit if > 1000 Americans die from Ebola and I trust that this is a sufficient condition to motivate the executive branch if things start to look like they could get out of control.

What countermeasures is that number conditional on being taken?

Motivation may be necessary but it’s not sufficient. The Federal Government is not exactly a shining example of competency.
Will the CDC handle Ebola like FEMA handled Katrina?
