We're dealing with a living thing. Ebola has never been in a large enough human population to evolve much, but perhaps now it will. We've already underestimated the transmission rates.
Keep in mind how many medical professionals have become infected. These people have a lot more knowledge than somebody who just "googled" some safety tips.
There's a good chance that the active strains are more transmissible than we assume, and might become worse through natural selection.

We actually have a very poor idea of what is going on the ground in most of the affected countries as the hospital system has effectively stopped admitting new patients. The CDC is using a correction factor of 2.5 (i.e. there are 2.5 case outside of the hospitals for every case in inside), but once you stop admitting new patients then you really have no idea how many infected people there are.
