From a link above: “The biggest part of the discussion is how Ebola is spread. I will say two things on the topic, no, it is not airborne, and yes, basic hygiene plays a HUGE factor. But while on the topic of whether it is or is not airborne, the definition of an airborne contagion is one that can freely float in the air, survive lengths of time, and infect someone else. VERY few things fit in this category, most have been eradicated, Polio, Small Pox, Tuberculosis.”
“Things that are also NOT airborne, are the flu and the cold. For the flu, you have to come into direct contact with the patient’s body fluids. People can spread it before they show symptoms, just like Ebola (theoretically), and one other HUGE factor…droplets….let that word really sink in. The virus may not be airborne, but the droplets are. All it takes is a little microscopic droplet to land in your eye, nose, mouth, or the unlikely scenario of an open wound, and you’ve now been infected, because you came in CONTACT with their bodily fluids.”
