Thanks for the info. Sound as contagious as flu, which spreads if an infected person sneezes in your vicinity, But there’s no Ebola shot yet.

Tekmira, a Canadian company, has a vaccine in the works:

Actually spreads more like the AIDS virus - it's not airborne:
Dr McCloskey said that because it is not respiratory and airborne, the risk of Ebola being passed on within the confines of a plane were not "on the same scale as pandemic flu".

In the case of Mr Sawyer, someone would have had to get his vomit or saliva on a sore, cut or in their eyes - or come into contact with his bodily fluids after using the same toilet - in order for the disease to be passed on.
