Sorry, but a lay person doesn't get to define "airborne transmission." There is a definition of what airborne means, and that example is not it. The CDC or WHO cannot define terms according to how Joe Schmo defines it.
That's not airborne, thats actually droplet transmission, which is already recognized as a method of spreading the virus.
If I dip my gloved hand into a bucket of ebola feces and throw it across the room and it hits your face, that is contact transmission, even though the feces "went through the air." That does not make it airborne.
Thats all well and good but stating it as fact is spreading misinformation and you'll have to cite your sources. You are referring to droplet transmission, not airborne.Well I'll just say this, if I am standing 3-5 feet from someone that has ebola and they sneeze and I get it, it's airborne to me, I don't give a dang what the cdc or who says, it's airborne. jmo idk They are not and will not be trusted by me. jmo
Maybe you need to read up on what droplet transmission is then.By their technical definition, I agree. But this is precisely what I mean about them being disengeneous. They keep harping how it is not airborne, but then they do not point out how you can actually catch it through the air in some cases.

Oops. Sorry.
Nurses do say the grossest things. We can talk about it at lunch.
All the regulars here who comment on the ebola thread KNOW that this stuff needs to be dumbed down for the majority of the population--they don't understand droplet, airborne, aerosolized, etc...

ETA, I mean no disrespect by saying dumbed down.
