To differentiate: contagious is thru the air, infectious is thru direct contact--so the flu is contagious, HIV is infectious.
Ebola is believed to be infectious only, so that explains the "not being very contagious," statement. This may be proven incorrect as the latest doctor to get Ebola was supposedly working in an area adjacent to where Ebola patients were being held, so he had no direct contact with them.
I must add, however, that we don't know if any of these infected doctors indeed were following protective protocol, but rather later claimed to do so. I never worked in the medical field but have in the chemical field, and the worst violators of chemical hygiene principles are the guys with masters degrees and PhD's. They know they are supposed to wear protective goggles and lab coats, but often do not. Google 'university lab accidents' and look at the incidents at Yale, UCLA, Tex A/M, and other colleges, and all the incidents were committed by advanced degree personnel.

From Walter E Williams this week:
Sticking with medical issues, Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said, "Ebola poses little risk to the U.S. general population.” If one cannot contract Ebola, as the CDC claims, except through exchange of bodily fluids, then why were millions of dollars spent transporting Ebola patients Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol from Liberia to a U.S. hospital under extreme isolation procedures? The CDC's Ebola claim strikes me as fishy. To use a line spoken by Marcellus in William Shakespeare's "Hamlet," “something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”
