what, you think all those doctors who contracted ebola, you think they treated patients in the nude? They wore protective gear, still caught it though.

Aw heck, who really knows what's going on over there, right? I was reading some articles on the Ebola outbreak and they all say it can't be spread through the air. So I guess I will calm down about it. LOL.

I guess a key question to ask one of these experts is:

 

"Would you sit next to an Ebola victim on an airplane?"

 

I'm skeptical that it can't be transmitted through the air. If nothing else, we're told that it's transmitted via "bodily fluids," but saliva and nasal secretions are bodily fluids. It only takes a sneeze, cough, or even conversation to send these bodily fluids airborne.

 

FWIW, here's the relevant discussion on the Wikipedia page for Ebola:

 

It is not entirely clear how Ebola is spread.^[16] EVD is believed to occur after an ebola virus is transmitted to an initial human by contact with an infected animal's body fluids. Human-to-human transmission can occur via direct contact with blood or bodily fluids from an infected person (including embalming of an infected dead person) or by contact with contaminated medical equipment, particularly needles and syringes.^[17] Semen is infectious in survivors for up to 50 days. Transmission through oral exposure and through conjunctiva exposure is likely^[18] and has been confirmed in non-human primates.^[19] The potential for widespread EVD infections is considered low as the disease is only spread by direct contact with the secretions from someone who is showing signs of infection.^[17]
