The biggest issue is that Ebola started in small villages in Africa where they were consuming food that was covered in infected bat shit and jizz. These people that were unfortunately infected would sit there and more or less succumb to the virus and die. It may spread within their village or even work it's way a bit outside, but it wouldn't go too far hence the low infection rate of years past.
Africans (for the most part) are poor people. They do not have the luxury of being able to just hop on a plane, train or even jump into their SUV and travel - either for business or pleasure. We do.
The fact that the second worker hopped on a plane with 132 other unsuspecting souls is scary. How far can the CDC or government go? Now, not only do they have to monitor that woman and her friends, family, coworkers, etc.... now they have to monitor 132 other people from God knows where, their friends, their families, their coworkers, etc as well as anybody that they have come into contact with.
It's a snowball effect. It's quite scary to think about.
