Every outbreak would be deadly. But why would you suggest it would be catastrophic? Most outbreaks have occurred in tiny African villages with next to 0% access to medical care, yet little more than a village has ever been affected.

Also, as said, the virus is spread by direct contact with bodily fluids. In a hospital like any in the US, the patient would be locked in a room and the only people to access that room would go through wildly extensive decontamination before and after. It's a whole different story than the medical camps set up by the WHO in the few isolated outbreaks there have been.
