I'm a medical professional with training in epidemiology and infection prevention and control. I'm also a front line provider in an Ebola unit. Please don't as a lay person tell me i am wrong. Like i said, if you want to claim it's airborne, cite sources. Otherwise its just hysteria.http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/transmission
airborne transmission
spread of infection by droplet nuclei or dust through the air. Without the intervention of winds or drafts the distance over which airborne infection takes place is short, say 10 to 20 feet.
It's my life on the line, not yours.
