The definition of quarantine is detention of person who have been exposed to an infectious disease, in isolation from the general populace, to see if they come down with it. It's not a penalty for irresponsible parents.

Ebola fits the definition of a quarantinable disease if anything ever did. The health guys don't want it now because it's generally health guys who would be quarantined. Were it to become more widespread they'd see the use of it quick enough.
