Sneezing, coughing, holding his hand up— he grabs a doorknob just before you. So you touch your face, how many average hundreds of times a day? And now you’re a walking Ebola bomb yourself.

Symptoms of Ebola include vomiting and diarrhea, not sneezing and coughing. Ebola is a systemic disease, not a respiratory one, and is transmitted by close contact with an infected patient or their bodily fluids. You've described how influenza is spread, not Ebola. While influenza *is* a killer, it does not help to avoid disease by getting confused on the routes of transmission.

Article at the link mention that relatives said the man was vomiting all over the place outside their home. I wonder how many people stepped on it and thereby transported the vomit elsewhere. Yuck.
