Yes. Water vapor from your breath carries thru the air. A sneeze, cough or just normal breathing spreads this water vapor. The distance varies. It only depends on how contagious whatever your breath is carrying.

The scariest ebola scenario I heard was written years ago by Tom Clancy. Muslim extremists take a contagious nurse/nun, extract the virus and weaponize it. You hear zero mention of that book in the news. Does anyone remember it? What is the name of it?

But the USAMRIID study specifically found that changing the environmental conditions of temperature and humidity made a quantum difference in it`s communicability.

The fact this hasn`t been observed may simply be due to the fact it`s been, so far, a tropical disease. There was even a suggestion that Ebola Reston was airborne due to the time of year it struck in Reston Virginia.
